How This Tag Is Used

• The bar coded Return Part Tag allows a major manufacturer to keep accurate records of products that are returned.
  
  
• When a part is returned, the unit set form is filled out by one of the company's custody coordinators.
  
  
• Once completed, the coordinator scans the form. That way, he or she has an accurate record of the part being returned and the reason why.
  
  
• Next, the form is scanned at the company's service center.
  
  
• Information previously entered is now available to a company technician. The technician then adds key information in the "Comments" section of the form.
  
  
• The part is then put back in stock, repaired or discarded.
  
  
• The bar coded form plays a major role in the company's inventory and quality control programs.
