Tool Inventory Control


What does the customer require from the Management System?


A supply of consumable tools / parts available on site. An immediate (24hrs max) replenishment of used tools. Prices and Costs reduced on an annual basis. Removal of Purchase order system to order parts.

Accurate tool usage reports. A system that can be developed to handle all consumable parts. Ensure all parts are fully inspected and certified.

Points to consider when setting up a Management System
What are consumable tools / parts. Examine historical tool usage to determine inventory stocking quantities. Set price levels based on existing prices. Storage location / type of storage system and layout. Regular overview of stocking levels.

How the system works

Empty boxes at the customer's site are scanned and information stored. When all the empty boxes have been logged by scanning the bar codes, the data is then emailed to Burcas. On receipt of the empty box data, Burcas enter a Sales Order and allocate the stock used. A delivery note is raised and the Full boxes are issued and delivered.
After delivery the Sales Invoice is raised.

Stock control is carried out and if the reorder level has been reached for any items either a Purchase Order or Works Order is raised. Each month reports are generated stating the complete usage of all items in the Tool Management System, this helps with problem areas of tooling highlighting high consumption. An inventory controlled management system that saves money by reducing the stock value at the customer's site.
