====== 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.
