11. Why do we need control numbers?
Unique identifier for each device
Track each equipment history from “cradle to grave”, i.e., initial inspection to disposal
Track departmental ownership
Assign and track scheduled Preventive Maintenance for each device
Support database queries for “Alerts and Recalls”
Facilitates report generation – analysis, trends of repairs, failures, parts used
