ABC inventory analysis

ABC analysis groups inventory by a chosen measure of importance, often annual consumption value, so review effort can be prioritised.

What to review

  • Define the measure first
  • Use a consistent time period
  • Review categories as demand changes
  • Keep critical-item exceptions

A simple example

Multiply annual quantity used by unit cost, rank items and choose suitable category boundaries. A low-cost spare may still be operationally critical and deserve frequent review.

In your warehouse

ABC analysis is a planning method, not a claim that VasKem automatically calculates every classification. Confirm the required report or export and use the resulting priorities to plan counts and replenishment.
