• As the procurement manager, the owner has requested a report with an assessment of the company investing in its own delivery. 
• Consider the conditions in which it would make sense for the corporation to invest and manage its own fleet of trucks, as well as the benefits of not investing.
• Prepare a report addressed to the owner with your assessment. 

Your work must include a reference list. All research should be cited in the body of the paper.
