I'm on this team as well. Been trying to explain this to the guys at work (fabrication/CAD work). They argue that "we already do have a system, we put projects in the customer folder".

Here is a sample folder structure (from memory, not exactly the same):

    /Customer/Project/:
    ./.190   -   STEEL  -   QTY  - 3 -   CUSTOMER - PART#.dxf
    ./.190 STEEL - QTY 1 - CUSTOMER - PART# DO NOT ETCH BEND LINES.dxf
    ./LEFT SIDE    BRACKET B.sldprt
    ./PART 3.sldprt
    ./PRJ001.sldprt
    ./PRJ002.sldprt
    ./PRJ401.sldprt
    ./ALL PARTS PUT TOGETHER.sldasm
    ./FINAL ASSY.sldasm
    ./STEPS ASSY.sldasm

Keep in mind they also have a /Customer/Project REVISED - USE THIS/ folder, a /Customer/Project 4-13-24/ folder, and a /Customer/Project UPDATED/.

They also have (ON PURPOSE!) a system where they have 3 sources of truth so if any of them don't match we have to stop what we're doing to double check what's actually correct :|

While they didn't take my suggestions on this particular thing, my expertise has been noted for when there's a need for printer troubleshooting...
