Westinghouse Hanford Property Management has responsibility for establishing and maintaining records for over 30,000 pieces of equipment and systems. All of the functions of Property Management depend on accurate up-to-date informative records. Prior to 1979, Westinghouse Hanford property records were maintained by manually produced input to a monthly batch updated computerized system. In 1978, Property Management became aware that an existing in-house on-line system was available for additional applications. The first effort at upgrading an existing system involved extended property passes. Previously property pass records were maintained on a monthly batch system which had limited data retrieval capabilities. The new system upgraded this process by utilizing an on-line data base containing complete information for each pass. Once a record is created, the pass itself is printed by computer.
