Information Needed When Soliciting A Simulation Quotation

We often get asked "What do I need to give you in order to receive a quotation for a simulation modeling project I've got in mind?"

I put together this quick two page document to try and describe the type of information we would need from you in order to provide an accurate quotation. This document addresses the particular needs of a manufacturing based simulation model, but many of the references can be applied to any industry.
