MATERIAL MANAGEMENT
Ever wonder what happens to that old desk or computer you discard? -It winds up with Material Management, the custodian of University Equipment Records. We are responsible for moving services within the University campus and maintaining a database of over 15,000 equipment items valued at over $90 Million.
To accomplish this incredible feat of mobilization and methodology, Material Management implemented a bar-code State ID system with a tag adhered on each piece of equipment. In addition, we've bar-coded every door jamb of every building on campus, enabling us to perform physical inventories on a more automated basis.
As for that old desk or computer you've discarded, Material Management provides an important community service by making surplus property donations to public schools and to worthy non-profit institutions and charities. Any remaining materials are sold by public auction. -We're "Delivering Solutions" to SDSU as well as the San Diego community!
