Cost Savings:   Suggestion Form



Last Updated: 12/23/2005

Past Efforts by the Committee:
  • Relevant to Employee Travel
    • Use CMU's American Express Corporate card for most reimbursable travel expenses (e.g. hotel accommodations, car rental, airfare).  The use of CMU's AMEX card will provide enhanced travel information assisting efforts to learn whether additional cost saving opportunities can be achieved.
       
    • Purchase airfare tickets from a travel agency that charges the lowest service fee.  The service fees of local travel agents can be found at Purchasing Service's website:  www.purchasing.cmich.edu
       
    • Review and consider whenever cost effective Saturday night stay over, purchasing airline tickets at least two weeks in advance and the departure airport selected.

    • Utilize CMU programs that direct bill per minute charges back to your departmental cost center for telephone and Internet services.  Contact OIT/Telecom at (989) 774-1474 for details
