Manufacturing Planning Tools collection
19 toolsFree browser-based manufacturing planning tools for BOM costing, material requirements, production capacity, OEE and batch manufacturing cost analysis. They help planners, buyers, engineers and cost teams test material, capacity and cost assumptions before operational decisions are approved.

Workflow guide
Use BOM cost to understand product structure, MRP to identify material shortages, capacity planning to test production feasibility, OEE to investigate equipment losses and batch costing to measure the cost of good output.
These tools support production planners, cost accountants, buyers, supervisors, engineers and business owners who need transparent calculations without building another complex spreadsheet.
Supported files are processed locally in the browser. Verify results against approved BOM revisions, routing standards, inventory balances, purchase orders and production schedules.
Record the BOM revision, scrap rate, machine availability, shift pattern, lead time and costing basis used in each calculation. Scenario results are most useful when planners can trace every assumption and compare it with actual production outcomes.

Start with the utility that matches the exact input and outcome you need, then follow the related links for validation or the next workflow step.
Review the output, compare important totals or fields with the source and test a small sample in the destination system before relying on it for production work.
Yes. The listed FormatForge tools can be opened without creating an account. Individual pages explain processing, limitations and any important verification steps.
No installation is required for these browser-based workflows. Some advanced or organisation-specific tasks may still require specialist desktop or enterprise software.
