Tools planning and tracking

Use tools planning and tracking to determine the planned and current locations of tools and the tooling historical data.

The tools defined in LN can be:

  • Present in a warehouse.
  • Planned or issued for a Production Order.
  • Planned or issued for a Service Order.
  • In maintenance.

The tools planning and tracking information is generated for the production order when the operations to which the tool is assigned are planned in the Job Shop Control module. The data is generated for service orders when the service activities are planned in Service.

In tool planning and tracking you can:

  • Maintain the estimated requirements of tools for production orders/operations and service orders/activities.
  • Check the availability of tools before the planned production is transferred from:
    • The Order Planning module.
    • The Inventory Analysis module to the Job Shop Control module.

You can also print the time-phased availability for planning of tools, for planned and actual production orders, and for service orders.
