Inventory Check-Out/Return Log Download

CMMS data group is offering Reliabilityweb.com readers a tool to help track part check out and returns, regardless of the CMMS software you are or are not using. To minimize maintenance costs, tracking parts is key. The downloadable spreadsheet contains the following fields:

-Date
-Issue To:
*Employee Code
*Vendor ID
-Item No.
-Stock Location
-Quantity
-Charge To
*Work Order
*Equipment
*Cost Center
*Employee Code
-Charge To ID
(enter the actual work order, equipment, cost center or employee code that is being charged/credited)

Modify the spreadsheet as you see fit. Once everyone in your maintenance department is used to logging parts upon check out or return, implementing a barcode solution such as MVP Capture to track parts will be that much easier!

For more information on MVP Capture or CMMS data group’s inventory services, please contact me at your earliest convenience and I will be happy to answer any questions that you may have.

Sincerely,
