Tool Control & Inventory

Track hand tools, power tools, precision measuring equipment, specialized aerospace tooling, and production consumables.

Do routine cycle counts and inventory checks, and report any discrepancies to your supervisor.

Watch stock levels and flag items that are near reorder points so production isn't interrupted.

Production Support

Work with production teams to prepare tools and kits for scheduled builds.

Tell your supervisor about tooling shortages or delays right away.

Help roll out barcode, RFID, or other digital tool tracking tools.

Suggest ways to improve tool crib organization and efficiency.

Tool crib experience in an aerospace, defense, aviation, automotive, or precision manufacturing facility.

Familiarity with AS9100 or ISO 9001 quality requirements.

Experience with barcode or RFID tool tracking systems.
