Company.

Companies at orca are those legal organisational units that have a specific contractual relationship with each other and with regard to tools and are bearers of rights and obligations to a tool.

Companies on orca can

• are in a relationship with each other (e.g. the subcontractor as a company vis-à-vis the supplier or the contractual partner vis-à-vis the client).

• Have a relationship with a tool (e.g. the client has ownership of the tool, the operator has possession of the tool and produces parts with it).

• have sites, these are the physical locations freely chosen by each company where tools are operated or stored.

• users, these then perform certain functions with regard to the company (e.g. tool coordinator) and the company's relationship to the tool (e.g. tool responsible person at the operator).

Every company that is not a client needs at least one tool coordinator to be able to act on orca.
