| # Business assumptions This case makes the following assumptions in regards to the business: In this business environment, LN Manufacturing, Project Control System is used as the supporting functionality for these types of projects. Prototyping and R&D are outside the scope. Engineering is the process of the drawing and creating the bill of material of the end item. In this case, the engineering is performed without engineering change orders. For managing the quotation creation process, no complex project management tools are used. A project for the quotation creation process is solely defined for entering engineering hours. Prefinancing occurs frequently in this environment, which can have an impact on the quotation, for example, a request for pre-payment. However, this does not show explicitly in the case. An invoice is usually not sent in the quotation phase; invoices can only be sent in the actual contract phase. |
