Responsibilities:

• The existing barcoding equipment (MC9090) is being reused and there were concerns about if they were intrinsically safe for use out in the refinery.The project also has other efficiency benefits for the storehouse:
• Increase traceability on materials by implementing barcoding - Implement barcoding to provide consistent information on labels for the packages and provide more information on the outside of the box about what is inside the box so less time is spent looking for materials
• Improve inventory accuracy to optimize service levels (less stock-outs).
• Decrease the delivery time for materials by implementing bar coding. Will be able to more quickly receive materials into the storehouse and issue materials out of the storehouse. Thus reducing the wait time for materials. The following measures will be used
• Time for direct out to be received and put in delivery lane (not going to quarantine)
• Time for stock item to be received and put on shelf
• Increased efficiencies for the material handlers by implementing bar coding. Reduce wait time and reduce paperwork. Potentially need less material handlers for receiving and issuing and can use them on other activities for effectively.
