James,
This refers to both company and employess gages. AT the moment we label each gage with due dates and I keep a database of all gages, but all the working gages are kept on the shop floor...micrometers, indicators, electronic test equipment. Some of these gages get taken on outsdie work jobs, some are taken to other departments, some end up in an employees toolbox, then they will sometime re-appear just in time for the auditor to find them.
