Turn to the pro's ---- call one or two of your distributor suppliers and
ask for a walk-through of their inventory system. The risk is that
it may be more sophisticated than you need but the basics should be
there.
Good luck

Hi
folks,
We are in the process of re-defining our
inventory/storage of components. We currently utilize the
manufacturer part number as identification, and we store the components
on the shelf under a customer 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 determining a location
for a particular component. My question is now that we have the
opportunity to set up a better component 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?
Thanks,
Jim
