I work for a government laboratory, and they introduced 'company' credit 
cards for individuals to get around this problem, as they recognised that a 
lot of time and effort was being spent by the purchasing department dealing 
with small orders because people used RS Components and Farnell as JIT 
suppliers for the small quantities of parts that most people use.

Now we are being re-organised (yet again) and the credit cards are being 
called into question ...
