Tooling & Gauges
The main features provided by the tooling module are to control the status of all
your Tools & Gauges, when they were last calibrated and which are now due for
calibration.
Probably the major cost benefit provided over manual and other forms of control
is in reducing the number of items requiring calibration by tracking how many days
of Shop Floor use they have had, whilst time held within the Tooling & Gauging
Department can be treated as not counting towards their service days between calibrations
- this can considerably reduce the volume of items requiring calibration.
