Purchases are either direct or through <strong>Canadian</strong> distributors. The Plant Engineering<br />
Manager receives quotes, specifies a winning bid, requests funds, issues the PO,<br />
receives the goods, installs, and signs off on the invoice. ConAgra never leases<br />
except through packaging material suppliers who include the lease price in the cost<br />
of raw materials. Terms are 30% down, 20% upon approval drawings, 30% upon<br />
receipt, and 20% net 30 days or when all issues are resolved. ConAgra looks for<br />
turnkey solutions for new equipment and individual pieces for used equipment.<br />
