| # Planification des besoins en outils The Planification des besoins en outils module is used to integral tooling maintenance and control. Several types of control are available in Infor LN: Purchasing of tools Maintaining tools Life-cycle management of tools Status control refurbishing and scrapping Applying tools for production and service Printing on production or service order documents Planning and tracking of tools The Planification des besoins en outils module is used to check the availability of the tools for the planned production orders in Planification d'entreprise and Warehouse Management. An availability check is also performed for tools when they are planned for actual production orders in the Pilotage de l'atelier module and the service order in the Service Order Control modules. If applicable, Infor LN automatically displays an alternative tool when the required tool is not available. When a tool kit is released, all of the relevant tool kits are released simultaneously. By using Infor LN a tool that consists of multiple detachable components can be composed. To perform an operation a complete set of tool components is needed. Based on the comparison between the planned life (in times used or hours used) and the actual used of the tools Infor LN can automatically generate a service order for the tool that must be refurbished or scrapped. When completing a service order, the tool master data and tool tracking data is automatically updated. |
