Tooling management

The standard requires the supplier to provide appropriate technical resources for tool and gage design, fabrication, and verification activities, establish a system for tooling management, and implement a system to tack and follow-up tooling management activities if any work is subcontracted. 

An item is a tool when it comes into contact with a part and produces a change to that part. Clearly if tooling is not adequately controlled, product quality will not be maintained. 

Mistake-proofing using the results of failure modes analysis 

Certain tools are perishable i.e. they are consumed during the process. Others are reusable after maintenance and this is where adequate controls need to be in place. The tool control system needs to cover tool selection, set-up, tool change, and tool maintenance You will need procedures for withdrawing maintainable tools from service, performing the maintenance, and then putting the tools back into service. You need to build in safeguards that prevent worn tools being used and to replenish tools when their useful life has expired. 

If you do subcontract tool maintenance, you need to keep track of assignments so that you are not without vital tools when you need them.

The evolution of the current interglacial period is different from its predecessors in that it was during this time that humans evolved. They learned to use tools, manage fire, hunt, gather, and assert some control over their immediate environment. Through this evolution, they started to move carbon in different ways as well. When humans learned to burn and manage fire, they started to add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.

Demands from GMP and the necessity of connecting tool sets to tablet products led to the introduction of tooling management with the help of special software (e.g., TM II from Natoli, http //natoli.com/, and Vali-Scan from Holland), where information on each individual encoded punch and die set is collected to provide a tooling life record. The software may be installed on a mobile trolley and the code on each individual tool will be checked while it is set onto the machine. 

The demand for healthcare increases relentlessly, therefore, it is essential that decision makers operate at both patient and population levels within an evidence-based framework. Evidence is needed for diagnostic tools, management options (including drug treatments), the introduction of healthcare models, and patients values regarding their health service. Scarce resources should not be spent on treatments which provide little benefit or which may even do harm. The relative effectiveness of treatments needs to be assessed where there is competition for limited resources. Valid and reliable information on the clinical and cost-effectiveness of different options is therefore needed. 

The work context tool manages the documents and tools required for executing a certain task. The designer is supplied with a workspace of versioned documents. He may work on a document by starting a tool such as e.g. a flowsheet editor, a simulation tool, etc. 

Unfortunately, existing tools usually do not provide an off-the-shelf CORBA interface out-of-the-box, which would allow for control operations to be performed. Often, however, the tools can be controlled through other, operating-system-specific or proprietary interfaces. In order to integrate tools into our CORBA-based environment, wrappers were developed that perform the communication between the CORBA service layer and the tools. Thus, the tools are represented by CORBA interfaces. Wrappers were enriched with tool management functionality and constitute so-called management proxies.

Tool management is also a very important task for the shop-floor control and management system. In a manufacturing system, a large number of tools are needed and the supply of necessary tools on time is vital for improving productivity. Tool quahty is important to product quality. The parameters of every tool should be maintained in a correct and real-time fashion because these parameters will be used by machine centers in controlling manufacturing processes. 

Automated tool systems are composed of tool setup devices, central tool storage, tool-management systems, and tool-transfer systems. All are used to prepare tools for the machining centers as well as transfer tools between machining centers and the central tool storage.

After applying external market and product tools, managers should use these internal tools to understand where they stand and set priorities for moving ahead. This section looks inside the company, describing a self-assessment process that examines current initiatives and how well systems, organization, and processes support goals. The exercise will raise issues that must be addressed about goals, responses, and operations. 

Definitions of the levels of probability and severity used in risk assessment matrices vary greatly. This reflects the differences in the perceptions of risk that people have. Since a risk assessment matrix is a management decision tool, management personnel at the appropriate level must agree on the definitions of the terms to be used. In so doing, management establishes the levels of risk that require reduction and those that are acceptable. 

Usually the maximum processing speed shall be provided in the tool parameters of the tool management (manual human data input). 

The Control and Estimation Tools Manager menu should look like Fig. 9.8. As ean be seen, the input point is the feed flow and the output point the concentration from the mass balance. On this display, now select Linearize Model , this will produce the Bode diagram for the linearized reactor model as shown in Fig. 9.9.
