Hello all, I am being tasked with generating a parts list numbering system to include electronic parts, assemblies, hardware and the like. I would like to think of all the different types of parts there are to be sure I include them on the system, however I have to admit that I am not as young as I once was so I may forget one or two! (See, I can't even count too high these days!) I hereby solicit all ideas for setting up such a system and any thoughts that I should keep in mind when attempting to include the world. Thanks in advance.
