Tag, handle or whatever on the pin to make it harder to loose is good.
Can help to look at actual (not ISO or what ever theory manual) working practices.
With a little bit of thought and appropriate mods doing it right can be made to emerge easily from what is normally done. Trying to fight local practice by imposing rules, forms and procedures is a loosing battle. What's worse is it tends to upset the guys storing up trouble elsewhere. You gotta get the troops on the ground on your side "OK folks hunting around for gauge pins is wasting time costing you money and darn frustrating. Lets see what we can do to make life easier. How about ... which ought to work." not "You untidy, careless, thieving slobs keep loosing gauge pins. From now on you will .... [20 procedures omitted] .... and fill in ....[ 10 forms omitted] ..."
For example:-
What's the local culture as to holding / returning tools / gauges to stores? Immediately when finished with, end of day, end of week, when I think about it or when the moose bellows?
Do the job timing or shift timings actually allow time to return stuff to the stores in a timely manner?
Does it make sense to have enough pins etc to make up sets for regular jobs so the set can be issued with the job ticket and returned at wrap up?
Are there specific places for each user to keep drawn from stores gauges, instruments or whatever separate from their personal issue / supply?
and so on.
