Stores

Golden Rules

These rules have been implemented to prevent the stores returning to the same state it had got to in 2021. Many decades of neglect had led to an impossible to manage situation where staock was lost. The goal is to allow anyone with a moment's training to be able to locate or count any given part

One Part One Box

• Each part number should occupy one space. NEVER share a box between two parts

Stacking Same Bin Types

• Think Lego. Only stack boxes of the same type / manufacturer
• If the box is not the same type, take the time to swap it for one that is.

Clear Labelling

• Each row of shelves has its own label station. If the location does not exist yet, use a new label.
• If the label does not exist, write a clear temporary one out and use the reporting process to get a new one printed
• Log the location in the database
