A fastening tool shared between shifts
An assembly instruction may specify a torque setting without naming the tool that delivers it. Alongside each assembly station, enter the tool ID, drive size, direction and setting used. If a lower-range torque screwdriver is used on covers at the same station, list it separately from the wrench used on the main assembly.
Installing a spare before releasing the original
For a fastening station handed over from a contractor, the spare may be held by stores under the contractor's number while production recognises only the station tag. Write both identifiers beside the torque setting and direction on the issue slip. Confirm which shift lead can accept the substitute before a due tool leaves the works.
Where the tool belongs to a supplier and the finished component is inspected at a second plot, give the place the tool must return to and the quality contact who needs its results. They may be different destinations under the same order.
Release the working tools in manageable lots
Ask the supervisor which tools have spares and when each station has a break in production. Use those answers to propose a first batch and a date for the second. If a sister plant at IMT Bawal is lending a set during the changeover, give us the loan numbers and which tool crib will take them back.
