Abstract

Supplier categorisation is a key step in Supplier Base Management (SBM), which is considered as a business strategy to reduce the logistic costs and improve business performance. In this work, we present projected clustering-based algorithm combined with Linear Weighted Model (LWM) for categorisation of suppliers in supply base management. We applied this hybrid approach for data set of suppliers in a supplier base.
