The Durban Automotive Cluster (DAC), in operationalising its new strategy for Localisation & Growth, aims to support our Tier 2/3 suppliers in understanding how to develop an accurate costing base and how to more effectively respond to Request for Quotations (RFQs). This will assist firms in overcoming the hurdles and challenges associated with RFQ response and also assist in unlocking new localisation opportunities for local suppliers.

The DAC invited suppliers to engage with experienced industry experts and join the Cluster at this training programme in order to:

• Gain a deeper understanding of the RFQ process and templates
• Acquire insight into overcoming potential challenges associated with RFQ response
• Deepen understanding on the costing process
• Find new ways to become and remain cost competitive in order to meet cost reduction targets
