So my company is in charge of delivering some pretty intensive healthcare equipment, however we're a little short on funds. Where could I cut corners on an MRI machine that wouldn't cause immediate problems?

There may be areas within the budget where you can make reductions that will not have immediate effects on your medical MRI machine. Negotiate lower prices for parts and materials, look for manufacturers’ offers and promotions on certain products, consider buying used machines if applicable, or look at used and refurbished MRI parts and accessories to extend the life of the device.  Reducing energy costs with appropriate equipment could make a significant difference in your bottom line. Consider purchasing energy efficient motors and bearings and looking into incentives offered by your government. Lastly, ensure proper maintenance is always taken to ensure long-term operation and minimize downtime. Additionally, you could also consider leasing to take advantage of the opportunity to spread payments out over a longer period, while still getting the equipment you need.
