Grommets

[harvey]

Thanks for the response, Karen.

Actually, I've tried both Schaff & APSCO for the grommets. They both have
them, but when I need them (as in remember to include in an order), they
show up on my packing list as out-of-stock. I delay the project (including
advising the client), and later the same scenario is repeated. 

I'm considering a 'hard' list instead of inventory, job or project specific
list. An inventory tracking system doesn't always work with
expendable/replenishable supplies, since they are used up over time, not as
units. This simple list can always be reviewed prior to ANY order. In my
mind, it's similar to a grocery list -- milk, bread and other "constants"
are always listed. 

Broad headers could be included, like Glue/Adhesives, Action Components,
Tools/Fixtures, Cloth/Felt/Punchings, etc., as substitutes for Dairy,
Bakery, Canned Goods, and so on.

For piano work, grommets would normally be parts, not an expendable
material , but in this case, having 'em on such a list becomes a memory
jogger.
