# KraljicMatrix

`KraljicMatrix` is an R package for implementing Kraljic's (1983)[^kraljic] approach to strategically analyze a firm’s purchasing portfolio. It has two main goals:

- Apply single and multi-attribute utility functions to rank-order products and services based on managerial preferences
- Align each product and service within Kraljic's purchasing matrix based on managerial preferences

## Installation

You can install `KraljicMatrix` two ways.

- Using the latest released version from CRAN:

```
install.packages("KraljicMatrix")
```

- Using the latest development version from GitHub:

```
if (packageVersion("devtools") < 1.6) {
install.packages("devtools")
}

devtools::install_github("koalaverse/KraljicMatrix")
```
