Stolen from OT... Williams does their part management in excel
LINK /
quote:
The Williams car build workbook, with roughly 20,000 individual parts, was "a joke," Vowles recently told The Race. "Impossible to navigate and impossible to update." This colossal Excel file lacked information on how much each of those parts cost and the time it took to produce them, along with whether the parts were already on order. Prioritizing one car section over another, from manufacture through inspection, was impossible, Vowles suggested.
"When you start tracking now hundreds of thousands of components through your organization moving around, an Excel spreadsheet is useless," Vowles told The Race. Because of the multiple states each part could be in—ordered, backordered, inspected, returned—humans are often left to work out the details. "And once you start putting that level of complexity in, which is where modern Formula 1 is, the Excel spreadsheet falls over, and humans fall over. And that's exactly where we are."

To be fair, Excel can do anything well if you know what you’re doing.

I guess the reason Williams was late to testing is that they were still using VLOOKUP and hadn't moved to XLOOKUP. Or they hadn't discovered INDEX MATCH.
Side note, practice is tonight for the Aussie GP.
