Let your tools talk to you.
Introduction and advantages of tool management systems
The use of tool management systems is increasing as companies recognize the benefits of structured and efficient tool management. However, even before the introduction of a software system, there are ways to bring an overview and order to the tool inventory and thus lay the foundation for successful tool management.
Speaking names as a first step
A first and very helpful step in this process is the introduction of a descriptive naming system for the tools used. Well thought-out naming makes it possible to recognize what type of tool it is from the tool name alone. This transparency not only contributes to better organization, but also considerably simplifies work processes.
Individual system for tool names
There are many options for the tool name system and it can be individually adapted to the needs and structures of a company. In a personal meeting, we will be happy to present you with various tried-and-tested approaches that are tailored to your specific requirements.
Requirements and advantages of the EVOMECS tool management system
No specific naming system is required to use the EVOMECS tool management system. The only requirement is that the tool names are unique in order to avoid confusion. Nevertheless, speaking tool names offer additional advantages, such as greater transparency and an improved process overview, which make day-to-day work easier.
Practical example: Advantages of a descriptive naming system
A practical example illustrates the advantages: A company initially wanted to use a cryptic system, but then decided on a speaking variant. This decision was made because the speaking tool names were much less abstract and therefore more tangible for the employees. The changeover led to a significant improvement in work processes and greater employee satisfaction. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Björn from R&R Formentechnik GmbH once again for the valuable exchange of experience.
Conclusion: Optimization through simple measures
In summary, it can be said that even simple measures such as the introduction of speaking tool names can contribute significantly to efficiency and transparency in tool management. Take advantage of this opportunity to make your day-to-day work easier and optimize the processes in your company. Well-organized tool management is the key to greater productivity and better use of your resources. Let's work together to develop and implement the best strategies for your company.
