“…For example, a production planner (possibly a computer[ 6]) must know what tools can be used, how many useful tools exist and their whereabouts, otherwise a production plan cannot be scheduled properly. Production planning and process control systems must be updated or changed in real time according to the real situation, otherwise the operation of the system can be disrupted.…”

Describes a systematic way to design and develop a generic relational model for a tool management system in FMS. Reviews the need for tool database management in FMS and discusses the advantages. Highlights the requirements for a successful tool database and presents a systematic way to design and develop a relational tool database. The developed tool database is implemented by using the ORACLE database management system. Finally, presents four demonstration runs.

“…Today's production environment is moving toward customization and wide variety, which has caused a growth in FMS or CIM tooling (Torvinen et al, 1991). The number of tools in a medium size manufacturing system can easily exceed one thousand.…”

“…However, how to design a tool database system is still a challenging issue (Shayan and Liu, 1995;Backes et al, 1998). Most of the work in developing a tool database system presents the simulation processes and implementation results (Torvinen et al, 1991;Chan, 1992). From an optimization viewpoint, Akturk and Onen (2002) point out that tool management and lot sizing cannot be viewed in isolation.…”

Since software development is a process of model transformations, to view various models in an integrated manner is a necessity. The purpose of this paper is to propose a new design method incorporating the required organization model (ROM) and IDEF1X data model. For function analysis, requirement specifications are first clustered into object domains using ROM. For data analysis, the IDEF1X is then employed to describe the static structure, which is transformed into a relation schema. Finally, the database system is implemented using an object-oriented (OO) database program. The correspondence and transformation rules of individual models are highlighted. The procedure applying ROM/IDEF1X methodology is demonstrated by a tool database system.

“…Production planning and process control systems must be updated or changed in real time, otherwise the operation of the system can be disrupted. Part programmers must know the actual sizes of tlte tools and their characteristics and behavior in different conditions, otlterwise part programs cannot be generated properly, causing lower quality and productivity (Torvinen and Salminen, 1991).…”

Tooling is an important and expensive part of any manufacturing enterprise. An application-based tool management system was developed for a machining company that bad a total expenditure of over a million dollars per annum on tooling alone. The system was developed on a relational database system available on a PC network. All different types of tools, their cost, supplier location of the tooling, and other relevant infonnation were built into the system for management to make the right decisions on tooling. The paper gives an overview of the tooling system and describes the individual modules and ~eir interrelationships, including some of the important files. It also describes how the system helps the company controlling tool costs and inventory.
