How the work flows

Trigger: A scheduled procurement strategy review or the introduction of new engineering material requirements prompts a reevaluation of existing material classifications.

  1. Extract current material spend and utilization data
  2. Gather new material specifications from engineering and product development
  3. Analyze supply market trends and supplier specialization
  4. Group materials into standardized sourcing categories based on procurement similarities
  5. Update the item master and procurement databases with aligned category codes
  6. Publish updated category guidelines to strategic buyers and supply chain managers

Outcome: Materials are accurately classified into distinct sourcing categories within the procurement system to guide strategic sourcing and spend analysis.
