How to Deal with All This Shit
- By Rachel
- 1 The shop folks need supervision.
- This is simply a constant fact. No matter how long they've been working here, you have to double check them on everything. They need reminders to plug lights in before they go out. They get sloppy without "Adult" supervision.
- It often feels like as a manager, all I do is hover and watch what other people are doing. This is however essential. An outside set of eyes surveying everything that's going on in the shop, especially when we are prepping multiple kits at once, prevents LnD and sloppy mistakes.
- 2 Use Slack.
- The monkeys will text you. Tell them to put it in slack. No shop related communication should be done over text.
- It is tempting to just text the employees directly about things, don't do it. Put it in Slack.
- Gotta lead from the top with this one.
- 3 Lots of Questions.
- Being a manager at JML means, constantly answering questions. This requires a great deal of patience, as often times its the same question every week.
- The monkeys forget everything. Nothing sticks.
- You can teach them how to check a light one week and then next week they'll ask you again.
- 4 Bins are your Friend.
- The flesh colored bins are weird but excellent for small parts.
- when in doubt make a bin for the thing because you will inevitably forget where you put the thing otherwise.
Special Reporting Software
Benoit designed a python program (stored on V:\z-Misc\stock.py) to be able to track the various stock transactions that happen directly from current. This is used mainly to keep track of the rental stock we bought and sell or write-off, since this affects taxes at the end of the year.
This is a program that is very user unfriendly but extracts the info we need.
Whenever a new item is added to current, use option 91 to get a list of all the items. When a new stock transaction happens, use 92 to get all the stock transactions. You can use 99 to perform 91 + 92 at the same time. Once all the transactions are imported, then you can use the following:
(30) Disposal Transactions: Lists all the items that have been disposed of in the file disp.csv (40) Lists ALL the transactions for everything and saves it in jml-transactions.csv (41) Lists the rental item transactions and saves it in jml-transactions-stock.csv (42) Lists the sales items (i.e. expendables) and saves it in jml-transactions-sales.csv
We use (41) to tally all the equipment we purchased over the year. For the current tax year, we use that to ADD to the PT-50 Georgia sheet. We use (30) to tally everything that sold or was written off in a year. This is used for PT-50 reporting to decrease our taxes since we don't have the equipment anymore.
