Which of the following is NOT a form of supplier segmentation?

  1. Supplier capabilities

  2. Customization

  3. Regulatory compliance

  4. Ideal relationship

The correct answer is: Regulatory compliance

In the realm of supplier segmentation, the primary focus is on categorizing suppliers based on various attributes that can influence collaboration and supply chain management strategies. The correct choice identifies regulatory compliance as not being a standard form of supplier segmentation. Supplier capabilities refer to the strengths, resources, and expertise of the suppliers, which directly affect the selection process and partnership dynamics. Customization reflects how well suppliers can adapt their products or services to meet specific customer requirements, another key factor when deciding on supplier relationships. Ideal relationship pertains to the desired nature of the interaction or partnership with suppliers, which is also a significant consideration under segmentation criteria. On the other hand, regulatory compliance is more about adhering to laws and industry regulations rather than a strategic approach to classifying suppliers based on their influence on supply chain performance or partnership strategies. It serves more as a baseline requirement than a criteria for segmentation.
