The document discusses procurement strategy and characterizes procurement items into four categories based on risk and expenditure: 1) Routine items with low risk and low spend, 2) Leverage items with low risk and high spend, 3) Bottleneck items with high risk and low spend, and 4) Strategic items with high risk and high spend. For each category, the document outlines the main characteristics and provides examples of potential operational strategies to manage procurement in that area. These include minimizing costs, establishing long-term agreements, developing alternative suppliers, and maintaining close communication with key suppliers.
