What it measures
% of spend categories with formal sourcing strategy
Business impact
- Increased 'chaos tax' from unmanaged suppliers: emergency air freight for late components, production schedule reshuffles to accommodate poor supplier OTIF, and quality team overtime to inspect materials with spec drift.
- Bloated inventory position on some materials due to accepting high supplier MOQs (Minimum Order Quantities) without a strategy, while simultaneously stocking out of others, tying up cash and warehouse space.
- Sustained out-of-stocks caused by a single-source supplier failure in an 'unmanaged' category puts the business in the delisting zone with major retailers, triggering a formal service improvement plan.
Formula
(Covered categories / Total spend categories) x 100Grain
One row per supplier per category per period

The real DAX measure
This is the primary ratio the pack's other measures build on — trend, rank, and period-comparison variants, all on Fact_Supplier_Spend_Snapshot.
Data you need
Fact_Supplier_Spend_Snapshot— 6 mandatory columns — period key, supplier key, ...Dim_Commodity— key + nameDim_Period— key + nameDim_Plant— key + nameDim_Supplier— key + nameDim_Date— Auto-generated calendar table — no customer data required
Full field-by-field data contract, in 4 SQL dialects (SQL Server, Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery), ships in the pack.
Editable thresholds
| Target | 0.8 — performance considered compliant at or above this line |
| Warning | 0.6 — amber alert — triggers a review |
Both live in one Excel tab — change them, refresh the report, done. No DAX editing needed.
