First, the traditional workshop tool management: invisible cost of the black hole, efficiency of the stumbling block to progress

In the traditional workshop management scenario, the management of high-value tools has long been a constraint to the production efficiency of the stubborn disease, the hidden cost of black hole and efficiency losses, is constantly eroding the core competitiveness of enterprises.

From the perspective of cost control, under the manual management mode, the receipt, return and inventory of tools all rely on manual records, the lag and error in the transmission of information, so that the flow of tools into the “black box”. Tool loss is difficult to trace, over-service leads to precision degradation, inventory backlog occupies funds, these hidden costs as an invisible funnel, continue to devour corporate profits. More seriously, the non-standardized use of tools and disorderly storage, not only accelerate the loss of tools, but also due to the lack of precision of the tool triggered by product defects, resulting in rework costs and waste of raw materials, the formation of a vicious cycle of cost control.

From the dimension of production efficiency considerations, the traditional tool receiving process is cumbersome, workers need to go back and forth to the tool warehouse queue registration, receiving time can easily be half an hour, in the high-frequency demand for tool change, this time loss is infinitely enlarged, directly interrupting the rhythm of production, resulting in hidden waste of equipment waiting. The inventory count relies on manual checking, not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also very easy to account for inconsistencies, when the production of a specific tool is urgently needed, but due to inaccurate inventory information into the “search for the knife” predicament, delaying production progress, and even triggered by the delay in the delivery of the order, damaging the credibility of the enterprise.

From the perspective of management effectiveness, the traditional management model lacks data support, tool frequency, wear cycle, inventory turnover and other core data can not be accurately counted, managers can only rely on experience to make decisions, it is difficult to formulate a scientific and reasonable procurement plan and inventory strategy. This kind of rough management mode not only makes the enterprise unable to accurately control the cost of cutting tools, but also makes it difficult to realize the refinement and standardization of material management, which is contrary to the development needs of modern manufacturing industry's leanness and intelligence.
