Your materials data is sitting there.
The plan isn't.
From production demand to purchase orders, without the guesswork
Every manufacturing and supply chain team has to answer the same question before every production run: do we have the right materials, in the right quantities, arriving at the right time? Getting that wrong means either a line stoppage or a warehouse full of parts nobody needs yet.
A well-built MRP tool takes demand signals, current inventory levels, and supplier lead times and turns them into a clear material plan. It removes the mental load of tracking hundreds of SKUs manually and replaces gut-feel ordering with a structured, repeatable process.
This MRP tool was built by Kien Leong, a practitioner who has applied these methods in real operations. It reflects industry best-practice logic in a format your team can pick up and use today, no ERP project required.
What do we need to order?
Net requirements calculated from demand forecasts, current stock, and open purchase orders, all in one view.
When do we need to order?
Lead time calculations ensure purchase orders are raised early enough to prevent production delays.
Can production run on schedule?
Production scheduling view flags material gaps before they become line stoppages.
Are we holding too much stock?
Inventory tracking surfaces overstock and slow-moving materials so you can reduce carrying costs.
Every view your planning team needs, pre-built
Input your demand forecasts, inventory levels, and lead times. The tool calculates your material requirements and flags what needs to be ordered and when. No complex setup. No ERP dependency.
Inventory Tracking Module
Stay on top of raw materials, components, and finished goods. Know your current stock position at a glance before committing to production.
Demand Forecasting
Predict material needs based on historical data and upcoming orders. Reduce the gap between what you plan and what you actually need.
Lead Time Calculation
Automatically factors in supplier lead times so purchase orders are raised at the right moment. Prevent delays before they reach the production line.
Production Scheduling View
Plan production runs to match demand without excess waste. See where material gaps exist before the schedule is locked.
Net Requirements Calculation
Takes gross demand, subtracts on-hand stock and open orders, and outputs exactly what you need to procure. Clear, clean, no manual arithmetic.
Comprehensive Reporting
Generate detailed reports covering material usage, demand vs. actual, lead time performance, and inventory status. Ready for management reviews.
Customisable Structure
Adapt the tool to your product mix, BOM structure, and supplier base. Works for steady production environments and fluctuating demand alike.
Scalable for Any Operation
From a single production line to a multi-SKU operation, the MRP tool scales without needing IT support or additional software licences.
Performance visuals for every stage of your material plan
A visual MRP tool makes it immediately obvious where your material gaps are and when purchase orders need to be raised.

Watch Kien Leong walk through the MRP tool, from entering your demand data to generating a complete material requirements plan with purchase order timing.
Designed for supply chain planners.
Not software engineers.
Real-time inventory tracking
Monitor raw materials, components, and finished goods in one view. Know your exact stock position before committing to a production run or raising a purchase order.
Demand-driven forecasting
Uses historical data and upcoming order inputs to predict material needs accurately. Reduces the gap between planned and actual consumption.
Automatic lead time offsets
Supplier lead times are factored into every planned order. The tool tells you when to order, not just how much, so production lines stay moving.
Production scheduling view
Plan production sequences against material availability. Spot gaps before the schedule is confirmed and adjust before it costs you a line stoppage.
Detailed performance reports
Generates reports on material usage, demand accuracy, lead time adherence, and inventory status. Presentation-ready for S&OP and management reviews.
Fully customisable
Adapt the structure to your product mix, BOM, and supplier base. Works whether you have 10 SKUs or several hundred. No IT project, no configuration sprints.
From demand signal to material plan in four steps
Enter your inputs
Add demand forecasts, current inventory levels, bill of materials, and supplier lead times into the input sheets.
Run the calculation
The tool calculates net requirements, offsets for lead times, and generates planned purchase orders automatically.
Review gaps & orders
Check the production scheduling view for material gaps, and confirm planned orders before releasing to suppliers.
Report & repeat
Generate your performance report for S&OP or management review. Update inputs next cycle and run it again.
Built for the people who have to
defend the material plan to operations and finance
Replace the manual spreadsheet maze with a structured MRP process
Stop stitching together five different tabs. One tool, one plan, updated each cycle.
Know your material position before you lock the production schedule
See gaps before they become line stoppages. Adjust the plan, not the production floor.
Order the right materials at the right time, backed by a clear calculation
Stop guessing when to raise POs. Lead time offsets do the timing for you automatically.
Get enterprise-grade MRP logic without an enterprise software budget
Fully scalable, no IT setup required. Works from day one for any operation size.
Every MRP question planners ask,
answered by your own data
Supply chain planners and operations managers ask these questions every production cycle. This MRP tool gives you the structured output to answer all of them, with your own data, without rebuilding the analysis from scratch each time.
MRP calculates what materials are needed, in what quantities, and when to order them. It replaces manual tracking with a repeatable process that prevents stockouts and reduces overstock.
Enter demand, inventory, and lead times into this Excel-based MRP tool. It handles the net requirements calculation and generates planned orders without any ERP dependency.
By ordering only what is needed, when it is needed, MRP cuts excess stock without exposing you to shortages. The result is lower carrying costs and fewer production interruptions.
Reorder points react to stock levels. MRP plans ahead based on demand. For any production environment with a BOM, MRP gives you more control and fewer surprises.
For most SMEs and lean teams, a well-structured Excel MRP tool delivers 80% of the value at a fraction of the cost. Start here, then upgrade when the volume justifies it.
You need demand forecasts or a production schedule, current inventory levels, a bill of materials, and supplier lead times. Most teams already have all four.

the material planning problem firsthand
