Pratt Whitney Connecticut Operations Tooling
Definitions

• Durable Tooling A type of tool that is designed
  to last (or can be refurbished to last) for the
  duration of the product life cycle. Such devices
  are used (but not limited) to holding,
  positioning, forming or casting a part. Durable
  Tooling is not consumed in the manufacturing
  process nor does it become part of the end
  product. Durable tooling may be used in the
  development of an engine and have subsequent use
  in production.
• Special Tooling A subset of Durable Tooling
  which are durable tools charged to a military
  product line code. Reference PW-SLP 4.7
• Shop Supplies Items that are used in support of
  manufacturing processes and are readily found in
  a manufacturing environment.
• Perishable Tooling Tools, which by the nature of
  their design are directly consumed in the
  manufacturing process items which through normal
  wear during use cannot perform the original
  function for which they were obtained. In many
  instances these tools can be re-sharpened or
  repaired without losing their original identity
  thereby extending their useful life.
• Capital Equipment (gross fixed assets)
  Reference PW-SP A.1 also UTC Financial Manual -
