Details
Storage systems make reusable materials and offcuts visible and accessible, reducing unnecessary repurchasing and making it easier for students and staff to select existing stock first.
Workshops organise deliveries, stock handling, and storage layouts to minimise unnecessary movement, double handling, and damage.
Shared tools and specialist items are managed in ways that support accountability and reduce unnecessary duplication.
