Abstract

Supplier categorization is considered as a business approach to reduce the logistic costs and improve business performance. In this work we propose a data clustering algorithm for supplier categorization namely S-Canopy clustering. It is simply making use of canopy clustering to reduce the number of distance comparisons. Comparison analysis shows a feasibility to obtain better results for categorization of suppliers in a supplier base.
