DESCRIPTION
This Operational Budget Analysis template offers two primary sheets—Budget Data and Budget Review—that provide an in-depth overview of operational costs and profitability.
1. Budget Data Sheet:
This is the core sheet where you will input key operational and cost data for each product family. Start by customizing the product names (e.g., Product 1, 2, 3, etc.) to match your actual products. Then, input operational standards, such as cycle time, equipment depreciation, and direct costs (materials, manpower, and overhead). You'll also define the shop calendar, adjusting for working days and holidays. As you input monthly sales demand, the sheet automatically calculates cost, revenue, and profit trends for each product on the right side of the table. At the top of the sheet, overall operation trends, cost trends, and ROI targets are visualized for quick insights. You can adjust or hide these visuals as needed.
2. Budget Review Sheet:
This sheet summarizes your overall manufacturing costs and profit analysis. It provides a big-picture view of operational efficiency by comparing actual performance against your predefined targets. Use this sheet to assess if your operation and cost adjustments in the Budget Data sheet are meeting your desired financial goals. It enables a detailed review of the total cost and profit trends across all products, helping ensure that operational strategies are aligned with business objectives.
This template streamlines budgeting and financial forecasting, allowing for easy adjustments and analysis.
