of Chemical Inventory Management Using CISPro With CISPro transaction logging, we have been able to determine which containers have not been used for a significant period and are disposing of legacy chemicals... We also use transaction logging to determine how much is actually used over a period of time allowing us to keep smaller quantities on hand and still meet our schedule needs.

of Chemical Inventory Management Using CISPro Prior to CISPro, professors would go from lab to lab searching for chemical stocks. Now the inventory books I create from CISPro are an easy way for professors to find chemical stocks.

of Chemical Inventory Management Using CISPro About ChemSW Appendix Table 1. Financial Assumptions Laboratory labor is assumed to average $39 per hour. This cost is based upon an estimated $25 per hour salary (assuming $50 per hour higher value labor less $25 per hour base salary), 35% burden, and 15% overhead costs per employee. Reporting labor is estimated at $62 per hour based upon an average $40 per hour salary, 35% burden, and 15% overhead costs. Inventory labor is assumed to average $39 per hour based upon an estimated $25 per hour salary, 35% burden, and 15% overhead costs per employee. MSDS labor is estimated at $54 per hour based upon $35 per hour salary, 35% burden, and 15% overhead costs per employee. Area cost is calculated at $18.75 per square foot based on an average $15 per square foot and 25% burden for property support, cleaning and maintenance. Purchase Order cost is calculated at $125/P.O. Waste drum costs is calculated at $600 per waste drum disposal. Container savings assumes a 5 year accumulation, 35% unavoidable waste. 2011, ChemSW, Inc. 4771 Mangels Blvd Fairfield, CA 94534-1464 707. 864.0845 www.chemsw.com 21
