GRIMM Equipment Representation;
Currently the database represents over 400 equipment manufacturers, and approximately 1600 machines, 2300 raw materials, & 2900 SBOC’s. (Standard Bought Out Components)
New technologies are being studied and continually added to the database.
This system is shared globally, compiling data from 9 countries/regions
 United States, Great Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Mexico; Domestic and Maquiladora, Spain, and Portugual.
Machines and Materials are updated annually. Raw material suppliers are contacted every year, and the new cost is entered into the system. Machine manufactures are contacted on a three year cycle. During the preceding two years, the PPI (Purchased Price Index, supplied by the Bureau of Labor Statistics) is utilized to update cost on an annual basis. The PPI method of updating has proved to be very accurate, within  1/2% of the new quotes from the manufacturers.

Rates are developed based on the average wage in the commodity. This includes union and non-union shops, and all regions in the targeted country. They are not intended to reflect any one particular supplier, but are intended to cover the range of labor cost paid by efficient suppliers.
