Classify each spend category on the Kraljic matrix - supply risk against profit impact - then choose the sourcing strategy the quadrant calls for, and set enough risk cover to survive the shocks. Press Run to play 20 rounds, or Step to go one round at a time.
Not all spend is equal. The Kraljic matrix plots categories on supply risk versus profit impact, giving four quadrants - Leverage, Strategic, Bottleneck, Routine - each with a distinct sourcing strategy.
Each round a category appears at a risk/impact position. You pick a strategy and set risk cover; shocks raise supply risk, and under-covered high-risk categories generate exposure. Score rewards the right strategy plus fitting cover.
Match the strategy to the quadrant, then size risk cover to the actual supply risk - and reserve dual sourcing for genuine bottleneck and strategic items where it pays for itself.
