Does it make sense for a company's director to run an equipment supply project?

Equipment supply and saving management resources

Whatever the profile of a business, every business needs equipment to ensure smooth operation, efficiency and productivity. Their importance is therefore beyond question, but who exactly will oversee these procurement projects?

The company's manager, who has a good view of what is needed and understands the technical implications, is usually overwhelmed by the supply needs. Researching the market, finding a good offer, comparing, settling the details, logistics and any misunderstandings are just some of the daily responsibilities of the person in charge of oversight.

Is it reasonable, though, for a company's manager to handle an equipment supply project?

These purchases are numerous, from several distributors, and each needs separate attention; they take a great deal of energy from one person, who all this time will not be able to look after the smooth running of the company's services or their development. While following the latest offers for jackhammers, grinders, drills, hammer drills, self-tapping screws, angle grinders… or a window-cleaning robot, all so important for the company's workers, they will no longer be able to follow the latest changes in the market and so will not be able to align the price of the services offered with market prices. With profit put at risk in this way, the choice of who will be delegated to manage equipment supply must be weighed very carefully.
