Tool and Equipment

The Bill of Tools (BOT) in iProd is used to manage tool inventory in a structured way, keeping stock levels up to date and associating tools, spare parts, and consumables with machines and related production operations.

 What is the Bill of Tools (BOT)?

The Bill of Tools is the structured list of tools, equipment, and consumables required for each production phase of an item, in relation to the machines used in its manufacturing process.

The BOT defines:

  • which tools are required during setup and production operations;
  • where tools are located;
  • how tools are used within the production process.

This enables more efficient management of production resources.

What is this data used for?

Managing tools and consumables in iProd allows users to:

Calculate usage and wear costs

In addition to purchase cost, tool usage and wear can be tracked to estimate lifecycle and plan replacement or reordering activities.

Plan maintenance and procurement

Knowing when a tool must be replaced or serviced supports the planning of preventive and corrective maintenance activities, as well as purchasing processes.

Control inventory levels

The tool inventory is always up to date, allowing users to track the location, availability, and quantity of each tool.

Ensure production continuity

Proper management of tools and equipment helps prevent production delays caused by missing or unavailable resources.
