Is this special software?
No, the Wrench Time Calculator is a simple tool created in Microsoft Excel. The tool includes a couple of macros to make it more user-friendly and that’s why we offer a PC version and a Mac version.
How do I use it?
The Wrench Time Calculator is pretty straightforward to use and our article How to Sell Planning & Scheduling to Your CEO provides some additional guidance.
The tool is used in our Planning & Scheduling training courses, where we have a lesson that explains how planning & scheduling creates value. That lesson includes a demo of the Wrench Time Calculator.
