Indirect materials and services value as a percentage of total value of purchases
This measure calculates the value of indirect materials and services—the items and activities not used to directly produce a product—as a percentage of total value of purchases. Indirect materials/services include machine maintenance services as well as office supplies. As part of a set of Supplemental Information measures, this measure helps companies evaluate additional variables not covered elsewhere for the "procure materials and services" process.
