Importancia y uso:

4.1 The categorization and identification of tooling has a wide range of advantages to assist in maintaining an uninterrupted, productive, and cohesive business practice. These include, but are not limited to, identifying operation critical items, increasing tool utilization, and helping to allocate resources and manage production.

4.2 Tooling has a wide range of applications. This practice is intended to clarify the differences between the different groups of tooling and provide identification symbolism for standard communication across industries.

4.3 The identification of unique tooling reflected in this practice will provide inclusive and comparative insight into the availability regardless of ownership or acquisition methodology, tooling type, specifics of its internal assignment and use, or possible future requirements. This identification combination allows the shop floor to identify readily the family of tools required in the manufacturing process and recall readily the correct tool for usage.
