Materials Management: Importance
of Item and Service Purchased
Products and services purchased by a
company are not all the same.
Some are more important than others and
require greater procurement attention.
The quadrant technique enables the supply
chain manager to assess the relative
importance of each item based on the degree
of perceived value and risk.
Chapter 4 Management of Business Logistics, 7th Ed. 9
Materials Management: Importance
of Item and Service Purchased
There are four possible combinations in
the quadrant techniques model:
Generics --- low risk, low value
Commodities --- low risk, high value
Distinctives --- high risk, low value
Criticals --- high risk, high value
Figure 4-3 illustrates the relationships in
the quadrant technique model.

Materials Management: Managing the
Procurement Process in 4 Steps
1. Determine the type of purchase
New
Straight rebuy
Modified rebuy
Chapter 4 Management of Business Logistics, 7th Ed. 12
Materials Management: Managing the
Procurement Process in 4 Steps
2. Identify the type of purchase
Determine the necessary levels of
investment of time and information.
The more complex the purchase, the more
time needs to be spent and more
information needs to be gathered to get it
right the first time.
Chapter 4 Management of Business Logistics, 7th Ed. 13
Materials Management: Managing the
Procurement Process in 4 Steps
3. Perform the procurement process
Do those activities that are necessary to
effectively make a purchase and satisfy the
user’s requirements.
4. Evaluate the effectiveness of the
procurement process
Were the user’s needs satisfied?
Was the investment necessary?

Supplier/Vendor Evaluation and
Relationships
Maintaining a healthy vendor relationship is
a critical part of a successful supply chain.
Developing a true partnership relationship
with a firm’s vendors grows more
important as the number of vendors
shrinks and/or the vendors are being
sought by other competing supply chains.
TQM begins with the vendors.

Electronic Procurement
Business-to business (B2B) purchases are
estimated to be $1.3 to $2.0 trillion by 20036.
Former uses of electronic data interchange
(EDI) were costly and required special
technology to implement have given way to
the publicly available Internet.
This has opened the door to increased
applications of E-commerce techniques to
procurement.
Chapter 4 Management of Business Logistics, 7th Ed. 28
Electronic Procurement
Common uses of E-commerce
