Hi Sorry this may not directly relates to SW, but I am having difficulty finding a suitable ng. We are manufacturers of air movement and conditioning equipment. Our current product coding system is a rather a "descriptive" one. For example, FAN-BKT-MM020 is the code for fan bracket used in MM020 unit. Another example: FSU020-CASE means case for filter supplied unit model 020. The advantage of this system is that all codes are meaningful. You know what it is as soon as you see it. However, as you can imaging, when you have thousands of products and parts, every time you create a new part you have to scratch your head. Different heads will come up with different way of coding. Some codes may be meaningful to that particular head who created them but totally confusing others....etc So we come to the stage where we would like to adapt a modern, industry proven coding system. What system do you use? Could you please shine some light on me? Thanks in advance. Regards. ad
