> We are in the process of re-defining our inventory/storage of

> name or a specific PCB part number. This has worked well for us for quite
> sometime, but we are finding more and more common components between
> customers and the boards we populate. This makes things difficult with

> Inventory/storage system, I was wanting to get a feel for what others are
> currently doing. I would like to understand what system is in place that
> works well. For example, how do you store components on a shelf,
> alphabetical, numerical? Do you use the manufacturers part number, or
> determine a custom number? How easy is it for others to locate a reel of
> components with your system? What type of shelving or racks works best
> with your system, particularly reeled components?
