Your tool management solution, but lack the time to make changes along\u00adside your day-to-day business? The tool managers from G\u00fchring special\u00adise in topics such as logistics, pro\u00adcurement and scheduling. This allows you to concentrate completely on the tasks that generate value for you \u2013 for added efficiency in your business.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_4,1_4″ module_class=”gue-page-header” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/guehring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Blog_Headergrafik_Februar_2022_ToolManagement.jpg” alt=”Ein Werkzeugschrank, in dem Werkzeuge ordentlich einsortiert sind” title_text=”Ein Werkzeugschrank, in dem Werkzeuge ordentlich einsortiert sind” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row module_class=”gue-row-text” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]A wide variety of tools are stored loose on shelves that are so high that employees have to climb ladders to look for the right tool: This was the situation at Hewi G. Winker<\/a> in the summer of 2019. The tool situation at the automotive supplier based in Spaichingen in Baden-Wuerttemberg was too confusing as the range of variants from ten different tool suppliers was far too wide and the sensible, ergonomic removal of tools was almost impossible.<\/p>\n And the situation at Hewi is the same for a huge number of other companies, as some of our case studies show: Fore\u00admen spend up to 60% and machine operators spend up to 20% of their time searching for tools, resulting in overall machine availability falling by around 9%. A total of 16% of all workflow interruptions are due to a lack of tools. Most companies are aware of these shortcomings, but there is no time for improvement alongside day-to-day business.<\/p>\n This is where G\u00fchring comes in, says Marcello Mintrone, sales manager in the tool management team: \u201cWhen talking to customers, I often feel that tool manage\u00adment is seen as a necessary evil. Time and expertise flow mainly into production and technology. It is precisely this necessary evil that is our core business. As a tool man\u00adager, we have specialised purely in topics such as logistics, procurement and materi\u00adals planning.\u201d This means that the custom\u00ader is spared the non-value-adding tasks, which increases efficiency in the company.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″ module_class=”gue-row-text”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_5,2_5″ module_class=”gue-row-vertical-aligned-content gue-row-2col-image-text” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/guehring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Vorher-300×219-1.png” alt=”Vorher: Zu viele Werkzeuge in den Werkzeugautomaten von HEWI machen die Situation un\u00fcbersichtlich” title_text=”Vorher: Zu viele Werkzeuge in den Werkzeugautomaten von HEWI machen die Situation un\u00fcbersichtlich” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]Tool management from G\u00fchring is a very flexible service that is individually adapt\u00aded for each customer. For this purpose, the G\u00fchring tool managers first anal\u00adyse the company\u2019s entire tool management system, including the tool cycle, work preparation, tool stor\u00adage and production areas. Based on these analyses, organisational weaknesses and optimisation solutions are identified and corre\u00adsponding concepts are determined.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_5,2_5″ module_class=”gue-row-vertical-aligned-content gue-row-2col-image-text” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/guehring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Nachher-300×225-1.png” alt=”Nachher: G\u00fchring reduziert die Werkzeugvielfalt um 33 Prozent” title_text=”Nachher: G\u00fchring reduziert die Werkzeugvielfalt um 33 Prozent” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]This also includes suggestions for outsourcing processes and functions as well as for the use of tool management software and hardware. The customer can then com\u00adpile an individual service package from five modules with different services. \u201cThis is our menu from which you can put together your meal,\u201d explains Marcello Mintrone. \u201cWe are completely flexible and do not force the customer into a rigid system.\u201d[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row module_id=”6″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text module_class=”gue-row-text-module” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n When the customer has chosen the \u201cingredients\u201d required in their production facilities and combined them into a custom\u00adised tool management package, there are two different pro\u00adcesses: The cus\u00adtomer can either specify which tool from which suppli\u00ader is used in their company.<\/p>\n G\u00fchring acts as the cen\u00adtral coordinator for procurement and refurbishment. \u201cWe offer the custom\u00ader a uniquely high level of transparency with regard to the pro\u00adcurement of G\u00fchring and third-party tools and in all removal and billing processes,\u201d explains Marcello Mintrone.<\/p>\n Another option is to hand over responsibility for all tooling to G\u00fchring. In this case, our project team on-site takes over the scheduling and ordering of all tools, the monitoring of delivery dates, incoming goods inspections and the man\u00adagement of the tool warehouse, but also the assembly and pre-calibration of new tools. The service also includes the continuous technological optimisation of tools and pro\u00adcesses and comprehensive reporting.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_toggle title=”Tool application” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Process planning” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Process optimisation” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Tool maintenance” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Logistics” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row module_class=”gue-row-text” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n The end result is a tool management solution that optimally meets the wishes and require\u00adments of the customer and brings in corre\u00adsponding optimisations. Experienced tool managers on-site ensure that these improve\u00adment concepts are also implemented promptly and that the optimisation goals are achieved. Because only measures that have actually been implemented are effective.<\/p>\n In this way, you can achieve your optimisation goals much faster. Hewi also decided to hand over logis\u00adtics completely to the G\u00fchring tool managers, who also looked for optimisation potential in tool management. This enabled tool variety to be reduced by 33%. Optimising the tools themselves will lead to a 20% reduction in tool costs and thanks to better tools, the company will save almost 32 days of machine runtime per year.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row module_class=”gue-row-text” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Then arrange your personal consultation appointment now:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ module_class=”gue-contact-person-3col-blog gue-row-text” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text module_class=”gue-contact-person-left-text” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]Marcello Mintrone<\/strong> +49 172 6580 748<\/a> [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_blog fullwidth=”off” posts_number=”3″ include_categories=”140″ meta_date=”d.m.Y” show_more=”on” show_author=”off” show_pagination=”off” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_blog][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Our tool managers take care of your tool management, including logistics, procurement and scheduling.
