You can ramp new employees quickly, avoid relying too heavily on any one person, and maintain the system without much overhead.

Using this type of scheme will save your organization time upfront. Here are some pros and cons of each: Advantages of non-intelligent part numbering Consider your current and future operations when selecting which type to use. In any manufacturing organization, pulling a part number should be an efficient and accurate process. With this type of scheme, a part number generated for a resistor might be RES-100-0003, where “RES” stands for resistor, “100” is the resistance value in ohms and “0003” is a serialized suffix.
SEQUENTIAL NUMBERS MEANING SERIAL
Non-significant part numbers are typically serial (pulled in numerical order), regardless of the type of part. Non-intelligent – Also referred to as “non-significant.” The part number does not provide any information about the part.Part numbering disciplines and processes have changed over the year and most manufacturers use one of the following types of part numbering schemes:


Before software programs simplified the process of creating and maintaining part numbers, most companies relied on manual logbooks with highly intelligent (categorized) numbers. Manufacturers use part numbering schemes to assign a unique number to each part. Having the right part numbering system and approach is critical to make it easy to reference, re-use, and avoid part numbering related mistakes. Manufacturing sophisticated high-tech electronics and medical device products requires the use of many parts-anywhere from thousands to tens of thousands.
