Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

They often include office supplies or basic maintenance items. This classification allows firms to focus resources on more critical areas. Reference: Kraljic's purchasing portfolio model.

I’m torn between C and A. Strategic seems high value, but I can’t remember if routine is definitely low risk.

If I recall correctly, bottleneck items are usually high risk, so that rules out option D. I think it’s C) Routine.
