Metricon groups its calculators into practical decision areas. The available tools cover procurement, product usage and unit economics, chemistry and laboratory calculations, and supply-risk analysis.
Procurement calculations
Procurement tools include total cost of ownership, economic order quantity, should-cost modelling, supplier preferencing, ROI, contract risk, Kraljic segmentation, NPV, cost per invoice and MRO savings analysis.
Product usage and unit-economics calculations
Facility and product-use tools include dilution, cost per use, usage rate, area coverage and dosage calculations. These models help convert pack size, working ratio, consumption and application data into comparable operating figures.
Chemistry and laboratory calculations
Metricon includes pH, molarity, concentration, specific gravity, percent purity and dilution-series calculations for common solution and laboratory work.
Supply-risk calculations
Risk models include single-source exposure, disruption cost, supplier health scoring, spend concentration using HHI, and foreign-exchange exposure.
The result depends on the inputs and assumptions
A precise formula can still produce a poor decision if the input data is wrong or the model is not appropriate to the situation. Users should verify units, assumptions and source data before acting on a result.
Calculations are browser-native
Metricon states that inputs remain in browser memory and are not sent or stored by the calculator service.
Practical takeaway
Choose the calculator by the decision you are making: procurement economics, product-use planning, chemistry or supply risk.
