Implementing Tool Management Software

[The Cathedral]

I also think it would help the programming side immensely if we had up-to-date tool library information we could trust to program with, without having to wander into the shop to verify. Like you said, time savings is something that can be hard to quantify but can make a huge difference down the road.

 

 

 

This was one of the best things for me, as a programmer. No more running around making sure the tool was still available only to find out someone burned it up and never replaced it. We built the new tool room just for this project and it also became my programming office (until I got moved on to bigger roles like I am in now.) THAT was great, even before we had the software up and running, because I could just walk over and open a drawer to verify it was there.

 

It's still a work in progress, and some organization still needs to be done, but this is how the room looks now:

Cathedral,

 

That look room looks like a thing of beauty, albeit an expensive one! Maybe one day we will be that clean and organized.
