Did you ever notice that parts sometime move out of your warehouse on their own? I’m not here to accuse anyone, but I do want to share an inventory control system that I have found stops the problem. Nothing sophisticated, such as computer models or coding or the like, just a straightforward method to keep track of inventory so it doesn’t keep getting smaller.

Using such a system also brings with it another benefit: You and your techs and warehouse personnel can find things quickly and easily. Not being able to find parts and materials when you need them is frustrating and time-consuming, which means the lack of a system costs you money. Besides you never know when you are running low on parts, until you run out. It would be nice to be able to know what you need at a glance.
