Productivity

Improving productivity lies at the heart of the CTMS program. Productivity targets differ from customer to customer, but typically range upwards of 8% in reference to total tool costs. Customers committed to an aggressive test program can achieve much higher results.

Performance Targets

i. Increased Productivity through reduced cycle times, better tool life and less down time.

ii. Reduction in the variety of tools used, better availability of tools, lower overheads, improved management of tool consumption data and reporting, and more efficient procurement and stock control.

If you don’t measure it, you can’t manage it!

CTMS uses its proprietary MATRIX-TM software to record all tool transactions to generate meaningful reports that measure tool consumption by cost centers, like machine, department, job and workpiece.
The above facilitates benchmarking and measuring the CPU of tools, necessary to upgrade tools and sustain cost downs.
