The Supplier Management Contribution Matrix

The Latest Matrix

The Supplier Management Contribution Matrix was initially developed for a McKinsey project, and based on the Frito-Lay vision of supplier ecosystems. it explains how a Purchasing or Procurement team can either have a tactical "cost oriented vision" or evolve towards developing strategies aimed at delivering true competitive advantages and contribute to shareholder value. In that case, suppliers can become intangible assets, sources of future benefits that do not appear on the balance sheet, and are difficult to protect.
