Supplier Classification

Categorization of suppliers into strategically important suppliers and critical suppliers adds to the suitable allocation of appropriate resources. The supplier classification is an ongoing process under which people assess and classify the suppliers at regular time intervals. Classifying suppliers in turn helps in classification of business.

An organization can classify the suppliers on the basis of the following:

  • Fixed set of classification attributes which is usually global classification.
  • Varied attributes and certain validity criteria which is a flexible mode of classification.
  • A combination of the above two techniques is also used in supplier classification

Procedure for supplier classification and its role in business classification:

Under flexible mode of supplier classification, the profile of the supplier is divided on the basis of validity criteria that are defined by the organization say as in form or region or purchasing category. Under the classification profile, the supplier is identified and categorized on the basis of attributes as qualification levels, strategic importance or ABC rating. One can also further define a personal set of attributes for classifying the suppliers of the respective company which are then made available to the organization as added variables for supplier classification profiles. Based on the output results, the organization can move ahead by taking initiating measures either for supplier developments or phasing out suppliers.
