This PPT slide, part of the 67-slide Supply Chain Strategy Tools & Techniques PowerPoint presentation, titled "Supplier Spend Analysis" presents a structured approach to understanding and managing supplier relationships based on purchasing behavior. It categorizes company purchases into four distinct strategies, which are crucial for aligning supplier management with organizational goals. The segmentation is based on two axes: technical control and strategic risk, providing a visual representation of how to prioritize supplier engagement.

The "When to Use" section indicates the contexts in which this analysis is most beneficial, emphasizing the development of a vision and value proposition. This suggests that organizations should leverage this analysis during strategic planning phases to define and evaluate options effectively.

The "Purpose" section clarifies that the analysis aims to match appropriate strategies for managing suppliers with the products and services they provide. This alignment is essential for optimizing supplier interactions and ensuring that procurement strategies are tailored to specific needs.

The detailed breakdown of purchasing volumes, items, and vendor counts across four categories—Ensure Supply Continuity, Handle Efficiently, Form Alliances with Suppliers, and Take Advantage of Market Potential—offers insights into how resources are allocated. Each category reflects different levels of purchasing volume and vendor engagement, highlighting the importance of strategic supplier management.

Caveats are also noted, reminding users to consider whether analysis should be product-based or supplier-based and acknowledging potential data collection challenges. This slide serves as a practical tool for executives looking to refine their supplier management strategies and enhance overall procurement effectiveness.
