The Standard Manual forMachine ShopsThe Standard Clerk Company

Job shops · CNC machining · Contract manufacturing · Sheet metal fabrication

Every RFQ answered before the quote deadline.Every traveler updated, no clerk on the floor.

The machines keep running. The clerks keep the quotes, travelers, and material paperwork moving back at the office.

Your clerks

They draft. You approve.

The RFQ Clerk

Reads an RFQ and drawing, checks tolerances and finish notes, and drafts what's missing.

The Job Status Clerk

Tracks each job station to station and drafts the customer update.

The Material Cert Clerk

Pulls the mill cert and lot number for a job and drafts the packet.

The Quote Follow-Up Clerk

Checks every open quote past your usual turnaround and drafts the follow⁠-⁠up nudge.

The Maintenance Clerk

Tracks scheduled machine maintenance against your calendar and drafts the reminder before downtime.

What it knows

Quote turnaround. A shop answering an RFQ in a day beats one that waits a week.

Lead time creep. A late delivery or a broken tool pushes the schedule. Drafts flag it early.

Tolerances and finish notes. A drawing missing a callout or finish spec gets flagged before it becomes rework.

Your limits. Quality sign⁠-⁠off, ITAR drawings, and ship dates stay with you. Clerks draft, never certify.
