context_page_description: In Supply Chain Management, the Kraljic matrix is a method used to segment the purchases or suppliers of a company by dividing them into four classes, based on the complexity of the supply market and the importance of the purchases or suppliers. This subdivision allows the company to define the optimal purchasing strategies for each of the four types of purchases or suppliers.
  It is named after Peter Kraljic, who first formulated the model in an article published in the Harvard Business Review in 1983.

This subdivision allows the company to define the optimal purchasing strategies for each of the four types of purchases or suppliers.
