It's helpful to take a few steps back from time to time to reassess where we're each coming from on our knowledge of tech (or anything) to better communicate.

Pulling a tech worker move, i'd just convince the tech illiterate boss that the excel thingy is too complicated and that i should use all the time i have to handle it while i then make some software that handles that annoying part of the job until it becomes too important that someone has to maintain it. of course, i'd write no documentation so i only know how the program works, as a leverage in case they think it would be a good idea to fire me lmao.

You clearly just don't understand manufacturing. They'd still be willing to fire you and make us use a paper and pencil. In fact if the techs that important then no it isn't because they don't trust it, and we're keeping paper backups anyway.

I know that because youre in tech you think you can "out smart" the guy who can build a house with a paper and pencil, but I promise that you aren't half as clever as you think you are.
