Sales Funnel & Conversion Analyser
Measure stage-to-stage conversion in your sales funnel — where enquiries drop out, which channel actually converts, the average days deals sit at each stage, and how many leads a win target really needs. A funnel analyser, not an opportunity-by-opportunity pipeline list.

The report is not a screenshot bolted onto a form. It is a printable management output: scope, summary, charts, tables, source rows, notes and the tool disclaimer in one PDF.
KPI tiles put the position on the first page: totals, exceptions, trends and the one number worth discussing.
Charts include visible values and captions, so the report explains what changed rather than just drawing a picture.
The printed tables carry the ranked risks, open actions, overdue items or comparison rows that make the report auditable.
The PDF title, subject, author, keywords, creator and review date are stamped from the tool specification.
At a high level, look at the first row of tiles, then the first chart. That tells you whether the tool produces the kind of management conversation you need: risk, capacity, cost, delivery, compliance, quality or performance.
At detail level, inspect the tables and notes. Each sample report uses realistic rows from the tool specification, keeps the source register in the printed output where it matters, and includes the report scope so filtered and unfiltered numbers are not confused.

Bottleneck Analyser
Find the real constraint in a process chain by effective capacity — rate, uptime and yield combined — then size the utilisation, the near-constraints and what closing the demand gap is worth.
Sample chain built from one week of observed rates, downtime and scrap. Replace every step with your own measured figures before relying on it or circulating it. The turning cell is the constraint on these numbers; re-run the analysis after the setup and jaw-change work, because the constraint is expected to move to milling.

Daily Production Board
Run an hour-by-hour production board — plan against actual for every period, the loss reason and countermeasure written in the hour it happened, attainment, first-pass quality and a downtime Pareto, printed for the shift handover.
Sample shift — replace every period with your own before relying on it or circulating it. The day finished 145 units behind an 880-unit plan on 100 minutes of downtime; the belt failure at 11:00 took a third of the lost minutes and the largest single bite out of output, and the material call-off at 09:00 took the next. Belt spare now held at the line and the kanban trigger moved to two bins — both to be checked at tomorrow's board.

Gauge R&R Study
Run a measurement system analysis by the average and range method: type in every part, appraiser and trial reading and see repeatability, reproducibility, %GRR against study variation and tolerance, and the number of distinct categories your gauge can actually resolve. Type the readings in or import a spreadsheet.
Sample study — five parts, two appraisers, two trials. That is a valid design for the average and range method but smaller than the usual ten parts, three appraisers and two trials, so the result is indicative. Note that reproducibility exceeds repeatability here: the two appraisers do not agree with each other more than the gauge disagrees with itself, which points at method and training rather than at the instrument. Replace every reading with your own before relying on anything on this page.

Layered Process Audit
Run layered process audits across team leaders, supervisors and senior leadership, record every check pass by pass, and surface the questions that keep failing and the audits that never got done. Runs entirely in your browser —
Sample covering three audits across two areas. One question — the work instruction revision at the station — has now failed at two separate layers five weeks apart, and the first action fixed the station rather than the cell. That is the finding worth taking to the review. Replace every entry with your own before circulating this.

Line Balancing & Yamazumi Chart
Assign work elements to stations, compare every station against takt and draw the Yamazumi stacked-time chart — line efficiency, the bottleneck station and the elements that can move, in one working register.
Sample study — a four-station pump assembly line running against a takt of 55 seconds. Station 2 is the constraint at 63 seconds, so the line runs at 63 seconds per unit no matter how quickly the other three work. The 204 seconds of work content fits inside four stations, so the answer here is to remove the nine seconds of fetching, then move the sealant bead to station 3, not to add a station. Replace every element and every time with your own before relying on any of it.

Process Capability Study
Enter your measured readings and a specification, and get the whole capability picture: mean, sigma, Cp, Cpk, Cpu, Cpl, Pp, Ppk, an estimated defect rate in parts per million, a histogram against the limits and a run chart that shows the drift an average hides. Type the readings in or import a spreadsheet.
Sample study — twelve readings is provisional, not a finished capability study; thirty or more taken across several set-ups is the usual minimum. Note that the mean sits well above the nominal, which is why Ppk is far below Pp, and that one reading is genuinely outside the upper limit while the normal model predicts far fewer. Replace every reading with your own before relying on anything here.

Shift Handover Log
Record what the outgoing shift tells the incoming one — safety conditions, production status, quality holds, equipment faults, shortages and actions — with acknowledgement tracking and a printable handover sheet. This is the handover log, not a rota or roster.
Sample handover log covering two days and three shifts across Line 2 and Machining. Replace every item with your own before relying on it or circulating it. Note the outstanding item from the night shift that nobody signed for — that is the failure mode this log exists to make visible.

SPC Control Chart
Plot an X-bar and R control chart from measured subgroups: centre lines, control limits from the standard A2, D3, D4 and d2 constants, out-of-control points and runs of seven, with the process sigma estimated from the average range. Type the readings in or import a spreadsheet.
Sample study — twelve subgroups of four, one of them excluded for a known coolant failure. Twelve subgroups is a start, not a settled set of limits: recalculate at twenty to twenty-five. Replace every reading with your own before relying on anything here.

Standard Work Sheet
Write standard work properly: every work element, its manual, machine and walk time, the sequence, the standard WIP, and the operator balance against takt — with machine time kept parallel instead of wrongly added.
Sample cell at a takt of 55 s. Operator 1 runs 3 s over takt and will miss demand every cycle; Operator 3 is 17 s under-loaded. The obvious first move is the 6 s walk to the deburr bench — bring the bench to the press and Operator 1 falls to 52 s without anyone working faster. Replace every element and time with your own before relying on this.

Takt & Cycle Time Analyser
Work out takt time from your available production time and customer demand, then time each process step with a stopwatch and see which steps run over takt, which ones are too variable to standardise, and where the bottleneck really is. Type the readings in or import a spreadsheet.
Sample study — three cycles per step over three days, which is enough to see the shape of the process and nowhere near enough to set a standard from. Replace every reading with your own before relying on anything here.
