Points to cover

Reasons for inventory
- Need information on what we are processing
- No database is accurate, need to correct on a regular basis
- who wants the data - NCER, annual report, donors, production/sales projections, space/time budgeting
- things we don't bother with and why (what we used to try to cover)
Inventory by location not type
- Best way of making sure we actually get everything
System is a case
- story - 100 systems disassembled and put randomly in 5 boxes. how do we count them?
- alternative story - we weigh everything (how do we tell covered and not after disassembly?)
- Apply this to laptops
What we do with the inventory data
- Correcting the database, when and how
- recycle vs receive
- examples
