We appointed 16 staff members to sit on our District Wide Inventory Control Committee (DWICC). (We have this many so that if several people are absent from a meeting, we still have more than just a handful making the decisions.) All products/instruments/equipment proposals have to gain committee approval before we'll place an order. People think about whether they really need something and have to do the work - they must present prices from three different vendors - to get what they want. This system has decreased excess inventory a lot.
