Tool Room Management
You maintain an inventory of tools in your tool rooms for uninterrupted operations and machinery. Inadequate tools/spares inventory could lead to downtime of machinery which can sometimes stop the entire production line. You would have come across numerous situations where your critical tools disappear to nowhere or simply lying in the wrong places because there was no cost effective way to track them. You also would have noticed many times that many of your costly tools are lying in your tool room unutilized because they were purchased in more quantities than actually required to manage the contingencies making your precious working capital stuck in unnecessary tools inventory. The fundamental reason why inventory gets piled up in your tool room or your production is stopped due to non availability of tools is the lack of knowledge on the existing tool inventory and their locations.The Solution
