We are just implementing firehouse software and are working on creating an inventory of all equipment. We have encountered a few problem areas and need some assistance.
First, does every item you put in the database need a unique inventory control number? What about something like an axe? If we have 15 axes, does each axe need a specific ID number? Same thing for backboards, hose etc.
How do you track consumables such as Haz-Mat supplies and EMS supplies?
Do you always assign each item to a vehicle or just maintain them in the master inventory database?
I'm sure we will have more questions as we continue to go through the process. Any help is appreciated.
