Tooling

This module controls the status of all 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 shop floor usage. Time held within the tooling & gauging department does not contribute to service days between calibrations - this can considerably reduce the volume of items requiring calibration.
