Abstract

See full text

A method (and visual user interface) of evaluating and selecting suppliers for procurement, includes structuring supplier information on a visual interface of a display, and providing an analysis capability for facilitating evaluation and selection of one or more suppliers for buying goods and services. The visual interface allows a user to directly manipulate data points in the visual interface to explore an information space of potential suppliers and to discover patterns, anomalies, and trends in support of the evaluation.
