Abstract
This thesis examines small purchase procedures for buys of $250
or less. The stress of the study is placed on the control elements
found in small purchase procedures. It is noted that the simplification
of procedures desirable for these types of purchases has
been complicated by an excess of control and an overabundance of
documentation. The thesis identifies areas for future study leading
to increased efficiency in small purchasing. Buying techniques
investigated are the Blanket Purchase Agreement, the Imprest Fund,
the Purchase Order and Fast Payment Procedures. Recommendations
are made for both immediate and long-range improvement of the small
purchasing system.
