Bill,
If you can persuade your Materials Department that tubed devices should be
stored next to the placement line and use the MRP system to log the usage,
then keep them in a shallow metal drawer system, suitably grounded.
They are then ready for instant use, the Stores does not have to double
handle them when kitting and the components are in a static safe
environment. This last point is important because the 'antistatic' tubes are
not static protective. The 'antistatic' only means that the tube material
does not generate static itself.
Hope this helps
Regards
Eric Dawson
