My company is ISO 9001:2000 certified.

As far as standard parts (Hardware, screws, washers, purchased products
like
o-rings, snap rings, etc, etc.) we set up a numbering system. As we
create
a new assembly, if the hardware is in our system, we'll simply use it. If
it's not, we'll assign the new hardware a the next number in the system.
It does not have to be unique to a specific job/project (ie, as you said
and
have multiple p/n's for the same part)
For example, this is the system we use. We assigned a series of numbers
that are only for purchased parts (95000 series)
95000 (****ms)
95001 (lubrications)
95002 (open bearings)
95003 (****elded bearings)
95004 (retaining rings)
95005 (o-rings)
etc, etc.
We created a standard print (in excel actually) for each. When we need an
o-ring that's not there, we assign the next dash number to what we need.
If
it's a new category, we assign it the next 95000 series number and it
becomes the first dash number. We have our own SWx library of standards
parts that correspond to the 95000 series dash numbers.
If you break down ISO 9000 to it's basic form, it's simply traceability.
Have procedures do***ented and make sure you follow them, and conduct
frequent audits to make sure they are being followed.
