Tooling management
Tool design review, T1 sample inspection and the revision cycle through to approved first article. Tooling ownership stays with you.
Service overview
What Tooling management covers
Tool design review, T1 sample inspection and the revision cycle through to approved first article. Tooling ownership stays with you.
Where it fits
Factory selection, tooling and the quality system that keeps units consistent.
This service can be engaged independently or connected to a broader product-development programme spanning research, design, engineering, prototyping, sourcing, manufacturing, packaging, and launch.
How the engagement works
A defined path from the current state to a usable handoff.
The exact scope changes by project, but each engagement is organised around evidence, written criteria, review points, and clear ownership of the resulting files or systems.
-
01
Define
Confirm the product objective, constraints, current files, and the role Tooling management needs to play.
-
02
Investigate
Review the evidence, requirements, risks, suppliers, and dependencies connected to Manufacturing and sourcing.
-
03
Develop
Create the production-intent work for Tooling management and coordinate it with adjacent disciplines.
-
04
Validate
Review against the written criteria, test the critical assumptions, and document revisions before approval.
-
05
Release and hand off
Deliver and review the agreed outputs: Tooling agreement, T1/T2 reports, golden sample. Then confirm ownership and the next production step.
Ways to engage
Start with the amount of support the project actually needs.
These are flexible scope models rather than fixed-price plans. They make it easier to decide whether you need diagnosis, implementation, or a connected programme.
Implementation project
Best when the objective is defined and you need the work produced and delivered.
- Defined scope for Tooling management

- Handoff: Tooling agreement, T1/T2 reports, golden sample
Integrated programme
Best when this service must stay coordinated with design, engineering, suppliers, testing, or launch.
- Cross-discipline programme coordination
- Stage-gate reviews and decision log
- Supplier or launch handoff support
