How do we claim for tooling and rework when drawings change?

Updated

Tooling is easy to overlook. A jig, die or mould built to the old drawing may be useless after a change. The claim covers the cost that cannot be recovered.

How it flows

How do we claim for tooling and rework when drawings change?1. Match tool to old revision2. Value the lost tool cost3. Add rework from job cards4. Claim with revision history

Work out the cost already spent, the cost of the new tool and any value left in the old one. Claim the difference, not the full price twice.

Rework costs come from job cards, timesheets and scrap records. Match each record to the part number and the revision date.

Send the claim with the drawing history attached. A clean link from revision to cost makes it easy to accept.

Claim tooling and rework as direct costs of the change. Show the old tool, the new tool, the hours and the scrap, and link each to a drawing revision.
