Now this is what the New Year is All About

Starting the New Year on the right foot - Woodward has an all new storage organization system for maintenance supplies and is starting to implement bar code scanning.

Woodward is taking their New Year's Resolution and making it a reality - they are moving all of their supplies to a central location and tracking their inventory more accurately. Starting with plumbing and electrical supplies, all of the maintenance parts and supplies are being moved into their new home on central campus. The first floor of this building was vacated last year, and with new shelving units in place, the old receiving dock and surrounding first floor area is now being converted into a permanent stockroom location.

One whole end of the receiving dock has been converted to include shelves and bins to hold everything. They are in the process of being labeled and bar coded. There will be a 3-ring binder with bar coded part numbers so workers can use a hand-held scanner to check out their parts. It is hopeful that this will increase accuracy when it comes to tracking usage quantity.

It is their goal using MAPCON CMMS to keep track of their supplies while they maintain this facility which is spread out over a large area, with many buildings and dorms to keep track of.

Woodward Resource Center helps out Iowa families with children or adults who have intellectual disabilities and who still need a place to live while receiving special care. Mapcon Technologies, Inc. is proud to include customers such as Woodward that really make a big difference in helping to keep our community together.
