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 stock was lost. The goal is to allow anyone of any ability, with a few minutes' training, to be able to locate or count any given part.

Spare Bin Storage

An area has been assigned for spare stock bins - please use it to keep organised

Location, Location, Location

Every stocked part needs a location
This location needs to be in the database
Each shelf location needs a label
If a part is moved, UPDATE THE LOCATION IN THE DATABASE!

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.

The black bins are useless - change for other types that do stack correctly

Clear Labelling

Each row of shelves has its own label station with a bundle of all unused stock labels. If the part you are trying to store 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
Always take the time to Log the location in the database - this is VERY important

Instructions Inside Bin

If there are special instructions or snippets of information that need to be remembered, write these on a piece of paper and put this in the storage bin

Examples would be:
