[Shop-talk] Professional Shop Question

Jeff: 

 

Most of my clients use some kind of CMMS – computerized maintenance management system – to help manage the actual work, work orders and labor. I your employer uses one, it likely has a tool inventory module included or optional. That would facilitate documenting what tools are available, location, calibration due dates, assigned owner/user, etc.

 

If not, I would look for some kind of tool inventory database to use. I don’t happen to know of one, though.

 

P.S.: I, like most of us on this list SHOULD have an inventory of my tools so if I ever need to make an insurance claim, there is a record of what was there before the loss….. In other words, I you or someone else on the list comes up with an open-source or cheap solution, we can all benefit!

All the best,

Not sure if this is the place for this...but I have a professional shop question...

 

Beginning in November, I will be responsible for stocking tools for a new maintenance crew for 200,000 square feet of new laboratory and office buildings. We have  a little bit of everything you'd expect to find in a large commercial building:  chillers, boilers, pumps, water loops, miles and miles of conduit, acres of LED lighting, ducts, plumbing of all sorts...  I have a sort of list I'm putting together, but I've been trying to find where someone has already done the work for me.  We are more or less starting from scratch.

 

Anyone know of a good resource for a list like that?
