[labnetwork] Foundry Service Considerations

[Jacob Trevino]

Hello All,

For those facilities that take on foundry service projects, I am curious if you have a model that you recommend. For example, is it simply the standard hourly rate plus some hourly engineering charge? What other factors do you consider when developing a cost structure for the potential new client? How do you quote if there is some small development work involved? How do you balance the income that can be generated from these activities verses pulling critical staff time away from training and maintaining the facility?

Any and all thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,
Jacob
