Overview

As an inventory manager, you are responsible for initially creating, and then maintaining, the electronic inventory of:

• tools
• equipment (office and production equipment)
• equipment parts

This inventory information is vital for the smooth operation of your maintenance operations. For example:

• Clients reporting problems need to be able to choose from an accurate inventory of equipment.
• A complete and up-to-date inventory of parts with proper cost information enables the estimator to generate an accurate cost estimate of a job.
• A readily-accessible list of vendors helps you to maintain a well-stocked parts inventory and avoid shortages and work delays.
• A complete parts inventory enables you to reserve parts for a job so that they are available to the craftsperson performing the work.

As a parts inventory manager, you will perform these tasks:

• Maintain a tools inventory
• Maintain an equipment inventory 
• Maintain an equipment parts inventory
  • Maintain a list of parts vendors
  • Check on understocked parts
  • Adjust the parts inventory and view the transactions log
