Keeping my programs organized.

I AM NEW TO THIS TYPE OF WORLD, I have only been doing this for about 4 months but luckily I have been able to learn quickly and have maintained my head above water. I have one engineer that is slightly familiar with PC-Dmis and CMMs but he is usually very busy and is not much help.

Either way I am having trouble staying organized with all of the programs I have, Part of the issue is having multiple programs of the same part but with slight differences - the reason I have so many programs like this is because the people in charge will usually Always come back and have me change or add some thing in the report. So if I save a copy of the program I ran I might just be able to make these changes without having to re run the entire program, which includes bringing the part back in, fixturing etc.

any tips or advice will be greatly appreciated. thank you .

  • The simplest way I keep organized is by keeping one master program. I will name it with part name & number with the date created or date whenever modified. All production parts that I'll run off the master I just rename with wo order number and part number. I will keep y master in its own folder called CMM and create new folder for all work orders using this program. eg. Housing 24758961 May 17 2017, Housing 24758961 wo 24566 #1
