The process of developing and implementing a PC-based equipment information system is presented. The feasibility study, system design, and system implementation are covered. A redesigned system was needed due to obsolescence of the current distribution transformer system and new information requirements. A requirements analysis approach was unique in that a feasibility study was conducted using a team of end-users. The system design can be applied to all types of equipment, not exclusively distribution transformers. The system utilizes bar coding technology. The system was also designed to be a marketable product
