My Work Process

Given that my work responsibilities have changed, I thought perhaps I should post something regarding them.

I’ve been reading 43 Folders and LifeClever and it inspired me to write a post on the process I go through when I receive an item. Maybe someone will find my process useful or will have suggestions for improving it:

  1. My boss submits a requisition for a purchase and prints out a copy of the requisition for me.
  2. I file it in the inbox on my desk with a Post-It note explaining what it the purchase is for
  3. When my boss’ requisition becomes a purchase order, he prints off a copy of the PO for me
  4. I attach the PO to the requisition with a paperclip and file it back in my inbox.
  5. When the purchase arrives a week or two later, I compare the Campus Delivery Report with the items i received and the details on the PO.
  6. If everything checks out, I sign the CDR and keep a copy.
  7. I open the box(es) and check for a packing slip.
  8. I compare the details on the packing slip with the PO
  9. If they match up, I barcode the equipment and record the details in Track-It!
  10. I then photocopy the packing slip and campus delivery report (I must say that I love photocopiers that staple for you)
  11. I stamp each copy of both and initial them
  12. One copy is filed in my boss’ office, and one is filed in my filing cabinet

There.
