CTMS Target - To Reduce your Production Costs

 CTMS-Commodity & Tool Management Services is an
 independent business division of the IMC Group, dedicated to  delivering tool management services to help customers reduce
 their production costs.
 The CTMS team comprises tool management professionals in
 the key areas of logistics, engineering and IT, all critical to  cost reducion in the supply chain and manufacturing processes
 affected by cutting tools.

 Cutting tools play a pivotal role in the total cost equation.
 In a typical production environment, the tool price represents
 only 3% of total manufacturing costs. However the cutting tool
 can significantly reduce machining cycle time, which means
 more machine tool capacity and less manpower.
 For example, a 25% optimization of the machining process can
 deliver total cost reduction of 15%. This is much more
 significant than say, a 5% tool price reduction, which would
 have only a marginal impact on total costs.

 More and more customers are realizing that to achieve these
 real  cost reductions, they need to partner with a specialist in  tool management. This partnership also frees customers to focus
 on their core competency - delivering high quality parts
 on time at a competitive price.
