Efficient tool management in production

Those responsible for production and purchasing are often faced with the The challenge of not having reliable information about their tools at their disposal. Necessary information on location, condition, availability and interchangeable parts is missing or incomplete. This often results in a high level of uncertainty regarding model availability and a lack of cost transparency.

Many advantages

Companies that work with an SAP system can implement a tool database without a great deal of effort, which has the following advantages, among others:

Overview of all tools

Assignment and management of tools according to suppliers, locations and previously defined categories

Full transparency of repair data, costs, deadlines and documents for the individual tools

Reliable tool management for process owners

Overview of all technical specification features required for use in the production process

SAP integrated tool database

A tool database integrated in SAP enables an evaluation of the tool inventory, the repair overview and the usage overview. It also provides a solid basis for creating calculations and cost plans. By linking the tool master data with the movement data from logistics, it is possible, for example, to derive the number of shots based on the goods receipts and thus monitor the service life. If a tool is foreseeably no longer ready for use, a repair or scrapping and new procurement can be initiated at an early stage.
