Inventory the parts for each individual kit completely before you begin
assambly of that kit.

I feel that more important than making sure all the parts are included is
the fact that you become familiar with the parts.  There are many screws
in the kit with only slight differences between some of them.  There are
some capacitors of the same value, but of slightly different physical
size.  Sorting the capacitors, ICs, transistors, etc. while doing the
inventory can be a big time saver during the assembly phase.

Do *not* sort the resistors by value.  The resistors come on strips
already sorted in the order in which they are used during assembly rather
than by value.
