A1310 - Global Purchasing Segmentation
Segment Management is a strategic process for managing the purchase of goods and services. It aligns business goals and customer requirements with supply market capability and maximizes long-term value for the organization.
The purpose of the new Global Purchasing Segmentation project is to classify our purchases and related sources, to ensure the integration of data into a single reference matrix and to transfer the information to all the tools accordingly. This will be achieved by using a 3-level hierarchy consisting of Domain, Segment and Material Group. The Domain and Segment hierarchy is designed to be common and unique forsuppliers and items (goods and services). Suppliers are assigned to one segment according to preponderant spend. Items (goods and services) are assigned to one Material Group based on the category of purchase.
Once the target model was defined, the segmentation was reviewed with and agreed upon by the Domain networks, and validated at the end of 2013. All updates introduced since this date have been revalidated by purchasing, general ledger and tax.
