Equipment related costs are a necessary thing yet there are times when the costs can seem out of control. Here are a few ways to better control inventory expenses and manage your asset tracking more effectively and efficiently.
Tracking Parts
Tracking parts is time efficient because taking the time to search through a warehouse from shelf to shelf just wastes time and energy. And worse, if you happen to be looking for missing or lost parts then it can seem to take forever and the part still remain missing. If you track your parts through CMMS then you know where everything is and it can be easily picked up.
Keep Stock Leveled
Ordering too many parts or not having enough parts can be equally damaging to your budget. By tracking your parts and knowing when something needs to be re-ordered rather than just winging it, you have more control on where the money goes.
Re-Ordering Made Easy
Instead of finding out that a part is needed when you actually need it the most, knowing where parts are beforehand makes re-ordering needed. This falls under keeping your stock at the right levels and also helps make sure that you do not order too much of something as well.
A More Organized Warehouse
By knowing where all of your assets are, from big equipment to smaller parts, you can keep a more organized warehouse by being able to access the location of everything. This ensures that most things go where they should at all times and the bottom line is that everything is easier to find and can be located with just a push of a button instead of having to search the last place someone thinks it may be.
Get Rid of Parts That Are Not Used
Many times, parts are ordered that are not used just because that is the way it has always been done. With keeping up with parts and equipment through CMMS, you can get rid of parts that are no longer used or obsolete parts and free up more space in your warehouse.
