EDCO's file room analysis indicates that this department wants to start the year with 23,324 inches of space on its shelves. That way, after a year's growth, they'll still have 30 percent of their shelf space available-ideally spread throughout the shelves-for working the files. Source: EDCO-The Document People® |
