You don't think they have systems to allocate resources across multiple locations?

Look, man, I'm trying to be as polite as possible, but I'm telling you that you have no idea what you're talking about. You're so invested in pidgeon-holing your solution into a problem that doesn't exist because you lack the awareness of a workplace outside of your experience, and refuse to accept such a place could exist.
I absolutely hate wasting time and I am always looking for ways to increase efficiency. I make lists of required tools and consumables for each maintenance card to minimize walking to and from toolboxes and supply. I am constantly seeking out time wasters to remove them, to allow the guys who work for me to focus on their job and get what they need accomplished. I have also worked in my field, in this organization, from the lowest-level worker and every step up to where I am now, for 12 years.
So when I tell you, who don't even know what field I'm in, that you are offering solutions in search of a problem, and that they wouldn't work in my workplace, maybe you should show a tiny bit of humility and think I might know better than you how my own workplace works.
There are systems already created to solve your problem, allocating resources in a shop. Just because you haven't used them in your experience doesn't mean they don't exist 🫣.
I'm not offering solutions in search of problems. I said these daily standup meetings are largely pointless, you said "but my shop needs them to allocate resources!" That's not me searching for a problem. This is literally the perfect job for an automated system. You get rid of any human error as well.
