Consumables and Supplies Usage Tracker

Decision tree

Know what you use and when to reorder.

The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.

Design a supplies tracker that tells me when and how much to reorder. Organization: [ORGANIZATION]. Supplies tracked: [SUPPLIES]. Usage patterns: [USAGE_PATTERNS]. Reorder lead times and suppliers: [SUPPLIERS]. Spreadsheet app: [SPREADSHEET_APP].

Provide a design with formulas and a decision tree for reordering each item:
1. Calculate average weekly use from the usage log (formula) over the last N weeks.
2. Calculate the reorder point = average weekly use times lead time in weeks plus safety stock.
3. IF stock on hand is above the reorder point THEN do nothing.
4. IF stock is at or below the reorder point THEN add to the order list with the order quantity (cover usage for the review cycle, rounded to the pack size, respecting supplier minimums).
5. IF usage is highly variable THEN increase the safety stock; IF the item is critical (a stockout stops work) THEN carry a larger safety stock; IF the item is slow-moving THEN order smaller quantities even at a higher unit price.
6. IF a bulk discount tempts me to overbuy THEN compare the savings with the cost of storage and the risk of waste.

Include tabs: item list, usage log, stock on hand, order list by supplier, cost summary by category. Provide eight sample items and the expected reorder results to test the formulas, and a counting and update routine that takes less than 10 minutes.
