Tool Crib Management

Tool availability and standardisation that prevents line stoppage and CPC creep. Sigma sets up tool crib systems that keep the right tools available, traceable, preset and issued without chaos. The focus is reducing stock-outs, wrong-tool usage, and uncontrolled tool-life variance.

Why Sigma

Tool crib designed around takt and availability, not admin workload
Standardisation across parts reduces SKUs and purchasing noise
Min–max logic based on real consumption, not guesswork
Tool-life and regrind loop built into daily discipline
Prevents stock-outs and wrong-tool-at-machine errors
Visibility into abnormal consumption and cost creep
Kitting + presetting to cut changeover time
Simple dashboards that production and maintenance can run

Where Sigma Fits In

Line Stops Because Tools Aren’t Available?

Sigma sets up min–max, kitting, and issue discipline so machines don’t wait for tools and changeovers stay predictable.

Tool Inventory is High but Still Unreliable?

Sigma standardises tools, rationalises duplicates, and brings traceability to tool life so cost reduces while availability improves.

Make Tool Availability a System, Not a Chase

Sigma turns your tool crib into a reliability engine: the right tools issued on time, controlled tool life, smooth regrind cycles, and fewer unplanned stops. You’ll see fewer delays, lower inventory waste, and stronger CPC control.
