Who Should Attend:
Engineering and operations employees who want a better understanding of the work order process.
Webinar Overview:
Materials are a required component of building assemblies and maintaining the distribution system. They flow from the warehouse to the field and become assets/continuing property records of the utility. Having a solid system to track materials is critical for every utility. From ordering, warehousing, using items on the system, to challenges with salvaging materials, come learn the many details about materials.
