What is Tool Management

Tool Management focuses on 2 critical areas:

1. Managing the tool supply chain which includes
    JIT inventory, warehouse operations
    and procurement. This activity can afford
    considerable benefits and cost savings to
    the customer.
    Direct overheads can be reduced, and working
    capital can be freed as stock levels are optimized.

2. Selecting Best-in-Class tools and processes to
    maximize machining performance that will lead
    to productivity gains, the primary engine driving
    continued and significant cost reductions.
