This guide serves as a "red thread" for the introduction of a tool management system. In order to meet this requirement, the benefits of working with a tool management system and the procedures for introducing the system, including integration into the company infrastructure, are described. The need to reduce hidden cost-intensive practices such as "black stock" is addressed, as is the cost-cutting reduction in tool variety and the possibility of reusing tools for roughing work if necessary.
Further aspects of system implementation are addressed and presented in terms of transparency, clarity and the time and financial benefits of a tool management system. The added value for a company is impressively presented to the reader by means of four case studies.
In addition, the guide provides an argumentation and decision-making aid for an investment.

Target group
This guide is aimed at decision-makers and users in the areas of production management, work preparation, process planning and system integration.

Contents
This guide summarizes the main reasons for using a tool management system in a company. Particular attention has been paid to the preparation of the system introduction, taking into account the effort involved (personnel, organization, time and technology).
Questions have been developed for individual chapters for the procedure for system selection and introduction in order to show the decision-maker in the various situations of the introduction project what needs to be considered in the respective phase.
