Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Although any decision to purchase a piece of capital equipment involves a number of the organization's functions, the department manager has some significant responsibilities in the selection and acquisition of capital equipment. Except for unavoidable replacement of essential equipment that fails unexpectedly, capital purchases must ordinarily be planned in advance through the annual budgeting process. The department manager is ordinarily the organization's primary source of information in major capital expenditure projects; therefore, it is essential that the manager follow a logical process for identifying and evaluating alternative equipment choices and perform a consistent economic analysis of the alternatives.
