  2. Current Situation Analysis: Explain the problems with the old chair in points, such as 'The aging material leads to insufficient support', 'There is no height adjustment function, which does not adapt to different height requirements', and 'The worn appearance affects the overall aesthetics of the office.'
  3. Selection Criteria: Specify the requirements, such as 'It is necessary to choose well-known brands (such as Herman Miller and Steelcase) with lumbar support, headrests, 4D armrest adjustment functions, and colors that coordinate with the office environment (such as dark gray mesh).'
  4. Budget and Process: Provide a reference price (e.g., 'The budget for each chair is 5000-8000 yuan') and the approval process, such as 'After being reviewed by the financial department, determine the supplier through bidding or price comparison.'

Precautions: All applications should be concise in language and clear in logic, avoiding redundant descriptions. If a budget is involved, it is necessary to check the market prices with the purchasing department in advance. For applications for chairs for leaders, photos of the old chairs should be attached as supporting materials.
