Tools

Batch production sheet and raw material usage

Compare planned and actual material use in the same unit per row. Record lot references yourself. Negative variance means less material used than planned. Does not change stock or verify traceability.

Free

Batch scaling

Scale ingredient quantities by target yield divided by original yield. Each ingredient keeps its entered unit. Use the same yield units. No unit conversions or process-loss assumptions.

Free

Best-by date calculator

Add your validated shelf-life days to a production date. Day zero is production day. This does not establish food safety, storage conditions or legal labeling requirements.

Free

Bill of materials cost

Multiply component quantity by your unit cost, add batch overhead, then divide by finished units. Use one currency and matching component units. Does not infer scrap or labor costs.

Free

BOM builder and finished unit costing

List all components used in one batch. Quantity and unit cost must use the same unit per row. Add labor and overhead in other costs. Finished units are saleable output, not starting input.

Free

Capacity planning

Estimate good output using parallel machines, scheduled hours per machine, ideal hourly rate and your entered availability and good-yield percentages. Availability is your own scenario, not a guarantee.

Free

Downtime log

Record start and end as explicit UTC times. Overlapping intervals on the same machine are rejected to avoid double counting. Total is machine-minutes, not elapsed wall time across the factory.

Free

Economic order quantity

Estimate an economical order size with steady annual demand, fixed order cost and annual holding cost per unit. Does not handle quantity discounts, shortages or variable demand.

Free

Inventory count sheet

Print a blank count sheet with SKU, item and location. Export the draft to reuse your list. Counts must be entered by hand on paper.

Free

Landed cost calculator

Allocate purchase, freight, duty and other costs over saleable units. Duty and taxes are amounts you enter from verified quotes or records. No tariff rate, classification or recoverability decision is supplied.

Free

Lot code and Julian date generator

Generate a date-based internal code using a prefix, YYYYDDD (year plus day of year) and your batch suffix. Here Julian means ordinal day, not astronomical Julian date.
