Which of the following refers to a matrix that reflects the segmentation of spend based on an assessment of the value of the spend relative to the market risk to acquire?
Correct Answer: D
The Kraljic matrix is a strategic tool used to segment spend based on the value of the spend relative to the market risk to acquire. It categorizes purchases into four quadrants: strategic items, leverage items, bottleneck items, and non-critical items. This matrix helps organizations develop appropriate sourcing strategies based on the importance and supply risk associated with each category.
