As for organizing your industry, I personnaly sat down and listed all the bpos I wanted to keep producing from woth their minerals requirement for a day worth of runs. Shove everything in a spreasheet to get my total use of minerals/day which helps a lot with organization

One way to be sure I keep making profit on items is to put them up at peek price in charts. Can take a while to sell and might not be the best depending on your budget.

If you really want a per item profit, it might get on the complicated side unless you buy only minerals. You could import eve central's data to get the current production price vs sell price, but that won't include taxes, broker's fee and manufacturing taxes like eveIPH does.

In my case I started with a Spreadsheet that calculated the cost of raw materials and just kept adding formulas to it. After a couple of years (!), it has ended up with the same answers as the ISK per Hour app, which I still use as a check for typing errors. I'm sorry to hear it's on its way out.

There isn't really any alternative to your own Spreadsheet that I've come across, once done it's a doddle to just press a couple of buttons to update and then do as you're told. Buy Noxium! Manufacture Caracals! Sell Drakes!

I could say more but wait - you sell at Jita? A rival Corp!

Easy approach: Just sell into peaks. Downside: takes too damn long to roll inventory.

Slightly more work: Spend lots of time pressing buttons at http://eve-industry.org/calc/ to see what's good money and what's not so good. Better results, but high effort.

High quality approach: Build your own spreadsheet with one page that has values for minerals and such, and another page that does the various multiplying and adding bits to spit out a price for finished product. It's possible to do a decent spreadsheet with rather limited knowledge of how the sheets work, and possible to essentially duplicate IPH if you get into it. Obviously more work up front, but the results are worth it.

Also I suggest doing a bit of selling into peaks in any case. Put up enough of your stock at the current sell price to replace your materials, then put up the last 15% or whatever at a higher price. That way you always have enough to keep building, and get more profit when possible. Some days prices just go south though, don't build if there's no money in it.
