Scheduling Tooling for PMs

You have defined Tooling for your site. Hopefully you are finding Tooling to be invaluable in managing those items that, in general, can be utilized across a range of machines. The Tooling for these machines is likely similar and the Tooling is interchangeable. These are often items that need to be removed, replaced, changed out for repair or calibration: Dies, Molds, Fixtures, Jigs, Gauges, Cutting Equipment, patterns, templates, etc. 

Scheduling your Tooling for PMs is a great way to maximize efficiency in managing these assets. Scheduling Tooling for regular maintenance and calibration will ensure that the Tooling you need is always available and ready to go when you need it! You can do this easily through the Scheduler. 

     Go to Scheduler => ALL Schedules => Add New 

Consider adding TOOLING as a Category under Scheduler. This way, you can quickly distinguish Tooling Schedules from Machine Schedules. In which case, you would follow this path: 

     Scheduler => Tooling => Add New 

Create a Schedule for Tooling just as you would create new Schedules for Machines. 

Be sure to check the "Tooling Schedule: Check this box if scheduling Tooling" checkbox. You will notice that *Required => Machine List* changes to *Required => Tooling List* when you check the "Tooling Schedule: Check this box if scheduling Tooling" checkbox.
