=Introduction=
Washers can serve to spread force, decrease wear, increase service life of parts, reduce friction, shim parts, and more.

=Challenges=
Washers are available in a bewildering variety of sizes, features, thicknesses, and materials.

=Approaches=
A reduced selection of sizes, features, thicknesses, and materials allows for easier satisfaction of minimum order quantities.  A curated set also reduces ordering, stocking, and handling.
