Most places I've seen operate in similar fashion. But you know how it

The maintenance man was a full time day shift employee, and wasn't
allowed to move any equipment if the tech wasn't at the bench. There was
no second or third shift, just some overtime for the day shift people.
Most of the carts had so many cables run to the bench that they had to
be unhooked to move more than a few inches. We were notified of any
building maintenance, so if you needed the floor cleaned under your
bench, you unhooked everything and rolled it to the wall, in an are that
would be cleaned the following Saturday. I'm not trying to argue with
you, but the system can work well, with proper planning.

We eliminated carts, were possible, but some techs had over 50 pieces
of test equipment on their benches. We were an engineering to order
facility, and priorities could change a couple times a day, if a
customer's plans changed. We also built and tested some base chassis
for stock, for emergency orders. We were able to ship a couple custom
radios within three days, to replace equipment that was damaged at a
customer's site.
