Job Transfers

The process of Job Transfers refers to a transfer of equipment from 1 site to another for a specific period of time and for a specific job. There are 2 assumptions related to Job Transfers that are important to consider:

1.

Equipment that is available for hire in another site is available for transfer to any other site requiring the equipment, and

2.

Equipment that is used in another site will be returned to the origin sites inventory once the event has ended.

In order to operate within these assumptions, transit times must be considered as part of the availability calculations. If it takes 72 hours to transport gear to AND from a site, then any conflicts within this 72 hour period must be considered. So, if a user needs a piece of equipment on Thursday from a site that has the equipment returning on Wednesday, it would not be available to the user as there is not enough time to transport the gear using a standard method. However, if the user decides to express ship the equipment, the equipment may become available if there is enough transit time.
