Furniture Procurement Responsibility Matrix
Projects lose time when several parties are involved but no one owns the handoff between them.
Open the worksheet →Immediate guidance
What a completed decision should establish.
Several parties may contribute to an activity, but each handoff needs one accountable owner and one observable completion record.
Assign one accountable owner
Specification, approval, purchasing, freight, receiving, installation, claims, and closeout each need one person responsible for closure.
Name the completion evidence
A responsibility closes through a document, approval, shipment record, physical result, or verified correction rather than a verbal assumption.
Update the matrix when scope changes
New vendors, phases, alternates, delivery methods, and installer responsibilities can invalidate an earlier assignment.
