1 Is a specialized database application used by the manufacturing industry to reduce production costs by controlling tool usage, inventory, rework and purchases.

2 Reduces production costs by: Reducing tool inventory Eliminating unknown tool quantities Eliminating duplicate tooling Eliminating poor tool storage practices Reducing crisis tool changes Optimizing tool life Eliminating unreliable tool data Minimizing down time Increasing part quality
