Regreen Springfield will celebrate the Spring season and acknowledge the work of the organization's community volunteers and partners, who have helped to regreen the city… one tree at a time, by holding a "May ReGreen Springfield Fundraising Gala". The event will be held on Wednesday, May 20, 2015 at the Barney Carriage House in Springfield's Forest Park, from 6:00 - 8:00 PM. The Gala is planned to help fund the Regreen Springfield's Summer Youth Intern Program and its 2015 Tree Planting initiatives.

The human brain is a very powerful organ, in fact it has far more control over people’s lives and destinies than most realize or are willing to admit. It makes sense that just as the brain can guide people down a path they’d rather not be on, it should also be able to take people down the path they’d rather travel.

“Costimator is an integral part of our best-in-class technologies. We use the system to estimate the time and cost to manufacture precision-engineered components and assemblies for aerospace, power generation, defense and other advanced technology industries. We require estimating software that is easy to use and works in every facet of our operations; from fabrication to five-axis machining. Our engineers working along with process technicians and toolmakers rely on Costimator’s speed, accuracy, and consistency to win orders and ensure profitability,” noted Dave Cybart, the Engineering and Tooling Manager for Rich Technology International.

Many of the world’s job shops need to identify part cost reduction opportunities throughout the product development lifecycle, leading to millions of dollars in cost savings. According to Thomas Charkiewicz, President of MTI Systems, “Few cost estimating software solutions have been around since 1982, yet more than 1,000 job shops and contract manufacturers worldwide have been utilizing Costimator JS for the speed, accuracy, and consistency it brings to their quoting process. Calculating the cycle time and cost of manufacturing for a part or assembly in a job shop, based on the capabilities of equipment and shop rates is a matter of bottom-line automation and productivity.”

Teri Lerew of AeroFab, Inc. acknowledged, "We have become master machine shop estimators. It was quite easy even for an individual whom had absolutely no hands on experience in machining. The set up and installation time was inconsequential and now we are reaping the benefits with increased profits!" Lerew acknowledged MTI Systems' job shop software solution for these bottom-line improvements.

Chris Lobdell of Northeast Manufacturing noted, "Contract bidding and the art of fast and accurate cost estimating are more crucial to a company's profitability now than ever before. We rely heavily on our system to produce accurate bids for competing effectively."

Few job shop cost estimating solutions come fully loaded with a library of over 2,000 work centers and materials. Too often there is an attitude among some job shop owners that these technologies are simply too good to be true. In fact there are few steps needed to accurately and effective test the efficacy of any cost estimating software.

According to Thomas Charkiewicz, President of MTI Systems, (www.MTISystems.com) the leading cost estimating software firm since 1982, “Software solutions such as Costimator OEM allow companies to quickly and easily identify the cost drivers in the products they design, manufacture, and procure. This valuable information is then used to explore design alternatives and methods of manufacture that lead to lower cost products with higher profit margins.”

MTI Systems is proud to have implemented its products and services at over 1,200 companies with over 10,000 trained users since its inception in 1982.

Manufacturing journalist Thomas R. Cutler recently authored a feature article for Automation.com about the Bottom-Line impact of accurate cost estimation technology.

"Costimator is currently being utilized in the Americas to respond quickly to request for quotes, to provide target pricing to suppliers and validate quotes received from the supply base. Ultimately, this tool will be utilized globally allowing us to estimate accurately and rapidly within each region," reports Kristen Housley of Jabil Circuits.

At Carroll Machine Works (Pasadena, TX), the ability to produce cost estimates quickly and accurately is a matter of survival. To win jobs from customers that include NASA, aerospace companies and a variety of petrochemical, oilfield and gas industries, a precision machine shop must respond to an average of 150 customer RFQs per week.
