High cost of tools, large tool inventory, and huge machine waiting time for receiving cutting tools were the main causes for high tooling cost. The company remained successful in reducing cost of tools, tool inventory, and machine waiting time for cutting tools. Tool cost management approach helped the industry in reducing the use of a variety of cutting tools by 44%, tool cost reduced by 33.6%, tool inventory lowered by 73.45% and machines waiting time for tools reduced by 77.8% within a period of three years.
