Part A: create and inventory of all the equipment of the lab and individual characteristics
Part B: After a very important week at my job I started to understand why parents love to just sit back during the weekends and regain energies for the coming week. This is one of the little things that teach this class. Living in a real labor world has made me seen how meaningful weekends are. Normally I just played soccer or made any other activities with my friends. Now I just like to relax at my house and maybe go out for dinner. You really never understand little things like this until you really experience it. All of the daily hassles and stress from work can only be relieved by taking advantage of this free time.
This new week brings me new tasks. After getting the project approved and all of the capital to invest in it, my boss told me to start making some of the requisites. One of the most important requisites is to create a full inventory of all the equipment used to test the fiberboard and paper. There are about 70 different machines and 10 calibration tools.
I just finished the first day of doing this task and it has been such a hassle. I need to look through several archives to find calibration dates, date of purchase and other information. The problem is that the archives are not very organized so I need to really search to almost every single paper to find what I need. Although it’s pretty annoying, this teaches me a lot of lessons. First of all, that having everything organized really makes any future procedure easier to be done. I will also learn how to surf through information both in physical and digital archives. I will also learn how to do an inventory and lastly how an organization of these massive dimensions manages to keep record of materials, shipments, costs etc.
I can completely relate to how doing inventory can be a huge hassle. I myself had to deal with handwritten information that was just in a big stack of papers. You are right when you say that having everything organized really makes any future procedure easier to be done. I have noticed that my work so far has helped the employees here find what they need to know faster. When you get close to the end and near finish their is a huge sense of relief that you feel, so look forward to that.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are doing well on your job too. When I was first told to start an inventory I thought it wasn't going to help me at all, but as I actually started doing it I realized all of the lessons it taught me
