Back to Chapter 16- Die Maintenance Documentation and Tracking (eChapter)

The competition in the industry for high quality, dependable delivery, and cost reduction does not permit the luxury of poor communication and inefficient shop organization. Clear, concise communication is an essential factor in efficient die maintenance documentation and tracking. A simple systematic approach to problem identification and communication is required. A simple paperwork maintenance-tracking system is a good way for a shop relying on verbal orders to improve performance. It can always run in parallel with a computerized maintenance-management and tracking system. Many good computerized maintenance management systems rely on paper forms for initial data entryand tracking of the repair process. Training is essential at all skill levels. Providing training opportunities to everyone from the operator to the tooling engineer and even top manufacturing management will lead to improved die troubleshooting and good die maintenance practice. This chapter provides an overview of the topic of die maintenance documentation and tracking.
