This is what we use. We will be modifying it this year to contain more information about that the part actually is, but the numbering will still be retained.

All part numbers get checked out of a part management system when a part is created, to ensure continuity.
We use this method as well. I like it a lot.

We add a description after the part number in the file name. This helps when you are trying to read the assembly tree and find a part.

971-14-P-0020_Center Axle Holder.sldprt
971-14-P-0031_Belly Pan.sldprt

We also revision our drawings when we send them out, and check in all drawings sent out for manufacture to our repository. That way, when a sponsor gives us a part back, we know exactly which drawing it was manufactured to.
