? 20% of population owns 80% of nations
wealth.
? 20% of employees cause 80% of
problems.
? 20% of items accounts for 80% of firms
expenditure.
The Pareto principle
?¡®ABC Analysis¡¯ is an Inventory Categorization
Technique in which the items in the Inventory are
divided into three categories as follows :-
? Category ¡°A¡± Items
? Category ¡°B¡± Items
? Category ¡°C¡± Items
? This technique helps to exercise selective control
when confronted with large number of items
rationalizing the number of orders, number of
items & reduces the inventory.
?The most Important Items of the Company
?Accounts for only 10 to 25 % of the total
Inventory Items
?Accounts for 70 to 80 % of the Annual
consumption value of the Company.(which
is the Highest Value)
?Have very Tight Inventory Control
?Managed by Top level Management
?Less Important Items than ¡®A¡¯ Items but
more Important than ¡®C¡¯ Items of the
Company
?Accounts for 25 to 30 % of the total
Inventory Items
?Accounts for 15 to 25 % of the Annual
consumption value of the Company
?Have Intermediate Inventory Control
?Managed by Middle level Management
?Marginally Important Items of the
Company
?Accounts for 45 to 50 % of the total
Inventory Items
?Accounts for 5 to 10 % of the Annual
consumption value of the Company
?Have Low Inventory Control
?Managed by Middle & lower level
Management
ABC Analysis & its Case Study
(a) Classify the items of inventories determining the expected
use in units and the price per unit for each item.
(b) Determine the total value for each item by multiplying the
expected units by its unit price.
i.e. (Annual demand) x (item cost per unit)
(c) Rank the items in accordance with the total value, giving
first rank to the items with highest total value and so on.
(d) Compute the ratio (percentages) of number of units of each
item to total units of all items and the ratio of total value of
each item to total value of all items.
(e) Combine items on the basis of their relative value to form
three categories A, B and C.

ABC Analysis & its Case Study
Conclusion :-
? Company have problems in procurement and handling
of raw materials for finished products.
? An analysis is made to the management of inventory in
the company.
? It develops an approach if adopted by company that
would result in a more efficient utilization of financial
resources for finished inventories.
? The study thus suggests some recommendations to
improve certain things in the company inventory policy.
? If these recommendations are considered, the
company's inventory management situation will rise a
lot .
A. Review of stock-levels :-
¡°A¡± Category Items have greater impact on
projected investment and purchasing capacity,
and therefore should be managed most in terms
of minimum and maximum inventory levels.
B. Cycle counting :¨C
For higher usable items ,there is more possibility in
inventory errors.
Therefore, higher priority items should cycle
counted more frequently to ensure accurate record
balances .
C. Identifying items for
potential consignment :¨C
Since ¡°A¡± items tend to have a greater impact on
investment, these would be the best inventories to
investigate the potential for alternative stocking
arrangements that would reduce investment liability
and associated carrying costs.
