The company needs to find a part-time professional technician to develop a process control plan for a skid unit; how should the costs be calculated?

As the title suggests, the skid is not complex, and there are not many key control points. Essentially, it is necessary to determine a control scheme that involves two control points; this scheme should ensure that the equipment inside the skid operates smoothly, while also enabling the system to function at its optimal level. Since the finalization of the plan requires repeated verification, it is necessary to figure out how to measure the costs associated with this aspect. This makes it easier to negotiate with others, and of course the company also hopes that the costs can be as low as possible
Calculate the man-hours (or workdays) required to implement this process control plan, and estimate the cost based on the hourly rate you are willing to accept. To be honest, the calculation of the sled blocks is quite complex; it involves repeated processes, is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and requires a high level of coordination. So, it’s better to set the cost a bit higher.
