AB  - Companies with custom production often need to store a lot of unique tools. Amount of these tools is always increasing. That can lead to problems with storing of these tools. Storages are often overfull and unorganized. In those cases, it takes a lot of time to find specific tool, and it is an issue which generates many other wastes. Because software solutions for storage management which can resolve this problem are expensive, companies cannot afford to buy them. This problem is calling for some low-cost solutions to manage these storages. Solutions cheap and simple that every company can afford to implement. This low-cost solution could be a system of storage control, based on paper cards with simple database. This article shows how to implement the card system to unorganized storage and how can this system improve storage management, establish order and reduce waste in storage. This all is proven by a case study in glass making company at storage of wooden forms for parts made by glassblowing, that study is also included.
