Key Business Issues
- for tooling & fixture manufacture
Global competition
How to:
Compete on price
Shorten delivery times
Win on complex jobs
Products are more
complex, no margin
in simple jobs
Meet quality demands
Today’s consumers
expect high quality

Best in Class PACE Framework
- for tool makers
Pressures
Actions
Capabilities
Enablers
• Price
• Increase efficiency • Formalized design
process
Competition of tool design
• CAD with tooling
specialized user interface
• Focus on niche
markets
• Automate common
tool design tasks
• CAD with automated tool
design capabilities
• Offer value added
services
• Virtually prototype
functional operation of
tooling
• Libraries of commonly
used tooling components
1st area to
focus on
“The message? Get tooling
design as efficient as
possible to decrease tooling
turnaround times. Then you
can differentiate yourself
with services”
