SDE Analysis

SDE Analysis, consisting of the initials Scarce, Difficult, Easy, is an inventory analysis technique that classifies products according to availability.

S: Scarce > Scarce resource / No fixed production => Kraljic: Strategic and Critical

D: Difficult > Difficult / Long lead time => Kraljic: Strategic, Critical, Leverage

E: Easy > Easy to find / Short lead time => Kraljic: Routine and Leverage

Some features of hard-to-find products;

• Products subject to government inspection

• Imported products

• Scarce resources

• High-tech products

• Products that take a relatively significant time to produce

• Critical machinery/equipment spare parts
  

Advantages;

• By providing forward-looking planning, motivates to make a long-term supply plan.

• It creates sensitivity against possible supply problems, thanks to tracking products with supply time problems.
