Thanks for the reply.
Reading the thread, it seems people generally interpret the TS requirement for production tooling management as management of the machine tools such as cutting tools, dies etc. It makes sense when the supplier involves lots of traditional machine work. However, some of the automotive suppliers are electronic companies that don't have machine tools. (Semiconductor companies call their processing equipment such as CVD reactors tools). I wonder if this TS requirements were written with larger scope in mind, referring to all production equipment.
