• SECTION: SEC 1 IS IN FRONT, 5 IS

• SHELF: ZERO IS ON TOP
DOT COLOR SYSTEM
• HELPS AT ITEM SITE TO TELL YOU IF &
WHERE MORE IS AT, IF ON ORDER,
DISCONTINUED.
• ORANGE: ON ORDER-WE PUT OUR
INTIALS AND DATE, SO WE ARE NOT
DUPLICATING PUTTING IT ON ORDER.
DOT IS TAKEN OFF WHEN ITEM
COMES IN.
• BLUE: MORE OF ITEM ON TOP SHELF
DOT SYSTEM CONT.
• YELLOW: ITEM IN CASES,PK IN BULK
ROOM AREA-WE PUT BULK LOCATION
ON THE DOT AT IT’S ―HOME‖ IN MAIN
AREA.
• RED: DISCONTINUED
– DS-DOESN’T SELL
– NA-NOT AVAILABLE ANYMORE
OTHER HELPFUL IDEAS
• COLOR AND NUMBER CODING
– WE DID EACH KIND OF TUBING IN A
DIFFERENT COLOR
– WE NUMBER THE TUBING BOXES BY
SIZE, IE: # 16, #17, ETC.
– WE NUMBER GADGETS, TOO.
• SPATULAS, FORCEPS, SCALPEL ETC
MORE IDEAS
• WE MADE SAMPLE BOARDS OF VIALS,
STOPPERS, SCALPELS, ETC AND PUT
THEM UP BY THE CHECKOUT, WITH
THE INVENTORY NUMBER, OUR
SEQUENCE NUMBER AND LOCATION
• OTHERWISE, CUSTOMERS WOULD
HAVE TO PULL OUT EACH BOX TO SEE
WHICH ONE, THEN MAY PUT BACK IN
WRONG BOX
LAST THINGS
• FILL ODD SPOTS WITH ODD ITEMS
THAT DON’T REALLY FIT
• READJUST WIDTH OF PARTS BINS, #
OF FACING, ACCORDING TO HOW
MUCH YOU USE.
• REMEMBER, LESSER USED ITEMS OR
SIZES ON FIRST SHELF OR BOTTOM
SHELF
MORE LAST THINGS
• WHEN FILLING SHELVES, START WITH
ITEMS ON THE BOTTOM SHELF FIRST
• THEN PUT SHELF IN ABOVE THAT,
CONTINUING ON TO THE TOP.
• OTHERWISE YOU END OF WITH THE
BOTTOM SHELF WRONG AND YOU
HAVE TO START ALL OVER AGAIN.
LABELING
• DON’T LABEL THE PARTS BINS OR
THE SHELVES UNTIL ALL OF THEM
ARE IN PLACE AND YOU HAVE THE
RIGHT WIDTH BIN YOU WANT. THIS
CAN CHANGE QUITE A BIT UNTIL YOU
ARE SETTLED
• AFTER SOMETHING THAT IS
DISCONTINUED,PULL THE BOX AND
ADJUST OTHER ITEMS ON SHELF
LABELING CONT
• WE USE OUR BARCODE LABELS ON
MOST OF THE BINS, TO STOCK ITEMS
IN THE RIGHT PLACE
• OUR BARCODES GIVE THE LOCATION:
IE: M-K4-6 IS IN THE MAIN STKRM, IN
SECTION K, WHICH IS AN END UNIT,
FOURTH SECTION AND ON 6TH SHELF.
• YOU CAN DO BIN # ALSO, BUT WE
DON’T LIKE THAT
LABELING/ID CHIPS
• WE ALSO PUT IN EACH BIN, OR
ATTACHED ON THE LIP OF SHELF IN A
LITTLE OPEN ENVELOPE, 2 BLUE
CHIPS. THIS EACH HAVE THE
BARCODE WITH INFO ON THEM.
SOME ITEMS YOU REALLY CAN’T
ATTACH A BARCODE TO, LIKE
RUBBER STOPPERS. SO WHEN WE
TAKE ON FROM BIN, WE CAN USE
BLUE CHIP ID’S CONT.
• THAT AT THE CHECKOUT. THE
SECOND ONE IN THERE HELPS
IDENTIFY THE CHIP YOU HAVE IS
GOING IN THE RIGHT SPACE.
• WITHOUT THE BARCODE OR LABEL
ON THE FRONT OR THE CHIPS, WHEN
THE BIN BECOMES EMPTY, YOU
DON’T KNOW WHAT, EXACTLY, GOES
THERE.(UNLESS YOU ARE GYPZY…)
MORE ON LABELING
• WE USE AN EIGHT DIGET ALFANUMERIC SYSTEM: TWO LETTERS,
THEN EIGHT NUMBERS
• THE TWO LETTERS GIVE A GROUP
ID:BK=BEAKERS, EF=ERLENMEYER
FLASK, VF= VOLUMETRIC FLASK, TU:
TUBING, CY:CYLINDER, PP = PIPETTES
MS = MICROSCOPE SUPPLIES, MC =
MISCELLANEOUS (COLUMNS, ETC )
CHEMICAL ID NUMBER
• CH=CHEMICALS, REGULAR ONES
• VH=PSUEDOCHEMICAL THAT WE
DON’T TRACK CRADLE TO GRAVE:
SAND, DRIERITE, RESINS, METAL
WIRE, GLUES, PAINT AND
ENZYMES(THEY ARE SO SMALL AND
USED ONE TIME IT’S NOT WORTH
TRACKING
SURPLUS CHEMICALS
• CHEMICALS WE HAVE INHERITED FOR
LABS, LIKE WHEN A PROFESSOR
RETIRES OR REDUCES HIS/HER
STOCK, BUT ARE STILL GOOD.
• WE PUT THEM INTO OUR STOCK AND
INVENTORY, SO IF SOLD THEY ARE
STILL TRACKED TO PROPER LAB,
• HOWEVER, WE DO NOT CHARGE
ANYTHING FOR THEM.
SURPLUS CHEM, CONT
• THIS REINTRODUCING SURPLUS HAS
ITS PRO & CON, BUT IT FALLS UNDER
THE FED.WASTE
REDUCTION/MINIMUMIZATION ACT.
HOWEVER, YOU HAVE TO DETERMINE
IF THEY ARE STILL FINE, OTHERWISE
THEY SHOULD BE DISPOSED OF.
SHARE WITH OTHER
DEPARTMENTS/PROF TO ELIMINATE
THIS
SURPLUS CHEM, CONT
• THIS IS ESPECIALLY USEFUL IF YOU
OR YOUR WASTE MANAGEMENT OR
RISK AND SAFETY OFFICE HAVE A
LIST OF ALL CHEMICALS ON CAMPUS.
• ALSO USEFULLY ESPECIALLY ON
DYES AND INDICATORS WHERE
SOMEONE ONLY NEEDS A GRAM.
• WE USE THE BARCODE WITH S AS
THE LAST DIGIT
ITEM UNITS & INV #S
• WE USE ID # WITH GROUPINGS FOR
VARIOUS PACKING SIZES
• BK003400 EACHES
• BK003401 PK/6
• BK003402 CS/36
• BK003403 CS/24
THE VERY LAST THINGS
• GO THROUGH AND LOOK FOR WAYS
TO IMPROVE: OUR #1 SELLING ITEM
IS GLOVES, SO WE HAVE THEM
CLOSE TO THE FRONT
• TAKE A BREAK, COME BACK AND
WALK THROUGH, IF SOMETHING
DOESN’T WORK, MAKE
ADJUSTMENTS
• MAKE YOUR STOCKROOM UNIQUE
WITH SOMMMMEE KIND OF DÉCOR
THE VERY LAST
•

THANK THOSE WHO HAVE HELP
HAVE A PARTY
ENJOY YOU NEW HABITAT!
TAKE A BREAK, BECAUSE YOU HAVE
TO REDO ALL THE LOCATION IN YOUR
INVENTORY SYSTEM
