Form CG-4491 is used for what purpose?

• A. Material requests
• B. Inventory control
• C. Maintenance scheduling
• D. Safety reporting

Answer: (A)

Form CG-4491 is the official document used to request parts and other materials from supply. It captures exactly what you need—item description, part number, quantity, unit of issue, delivery location, and required-by date—along with any cost or account information and necessary approvals. This standardizes requests so the supply chain can accurately pull from stock or place an order with a vendor, creating a clear, traceable paper trail from need to delivery. It’s about initiating the flow of materials for maintenance tasks, not about tracking inventory levels, scheduling work, or reporting safety issues.
