Abstract:This report was prepared for the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), to explore options for implementation of a barcode inventory system to track fixed assets on an organization-wide basis. ADOT currently has no department-wide automated fixed asset inventory process nor does it use barcode or other types of technology to track fixed assets. ADOT currently relies on manual inventory methods to maintain their fixed asset information in their fixed asset accounting software. Information on label and ID technologies, bar code hardware and scanning technologies, software applications, and a Pilot Implementation are discussed. Since the Pilot Implementation showed that an automated asset inventory system can reduce the amount of time needed to perform a physical inventory as well as increase the accuracy of the results, it is recommended that ADOT further study the automated technology in conjunction with one of the three implementation strategies presented in this report. It is the author's opinion that Strategy Three, the implementation of moderate barcode technology and web or network based data collection, would best suit ADOT's infrastructure. It offers the benefits of both Browser Access as well as barcode technology without committing to a dedicated centralized inventory staff. To recap, Browser Access can be advantageous under a number of situations previously discussed in this report.
