Synopsis

Tools are essential assets in industry. Tool management presents a logistical and cost-related challenge, particularly when dealing with tools that have a short service life and a wide variety of variants, and is therefore an indispensable support process within a company. This thesis addresses the optimisation of a tool management system for press tools, with the aim of keeping space requirements and costs as low as possible, improving the quality of the end product and minimising the scrap caused by faulty tools. The improvements developed were implemented in practice during ongoing operations in conjunction with change management approaches. The thesis comprises the theoretical background, a description of the current situation, the development of proposed solutions, and an analysis of the results arising from the improvements. If you are looking for innovative approaches to tool management without having to turn the entire operation upside down to achieve improvements, this thesis is exactly what you need.
