Purchasing Parts

[kellymc]

I would like to know how teams handle the organization of parts/materials ordering as well as how you handle the purchasing of the items.

1. Do you have one dedicated person for ordering parts? If so, how do they know what to order? Is this a student ? A student and mentor?



2. How do you handle team finances? Do you have a student treasurer?



3. How do you handle inventory? i.e. when parts are depleted who notifies the person who orders or adds them to the order list?



4. How do you handle broken/missing tools? i.e. know that they have been broken/lost so that you can replace them?
