Someone has pointed me to supply chain templates. What's the deal?
I got some advice to check out templates. I did a search on supply chain templates to see what's readily available, and I was faced with pages of them. What's the best approach- excel? Is it worth using them and applying something generic to my specific world or should I develop my own tool?

Using an Excel format is extremely flexible but will require the data to be input. Using a standard format to start might be easier and as long as you understand the logic, it can be expanded and enhanced. You need a format that fits your organization's requirements and over time you can add the macros and calculations that will be important to displaying the plan.
John,
I don't understand what you are attempting to accomplish. I have a bunch of experience developing templates and custom spreadsheets. If I can help in anyway let me know.
For quick results, I would tell you to look over some generic templates, get and idea of what the layout needs to be like, and figure out what metrics your trying to track. Excel is the way to go when considering cost/functionality.
The only problem with Excel is that it probably has more functions than you will ever use. Unless your a stats whiz, I would suggest reading up on supply chain optimization functions.
Good luck,
Jacob
