What is ABC Analysis for Inventory?
• An inventory control system
• Categorizes by dollar volume contribution
• Valuable for small businesses
![Page 5: ABC Analysis for Inventory](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061116/54669867b4af9f01758b4588/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Brainstorming Exercise
• Which items contribute most to your dollar volume?
• What is your inventory control method?
• How much inventory is wasted due to lack of inventory control?
![Page 6: ABC Analysis for Inventory](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061116/54669867b4af9f01758b4588/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Nuts and Bolts
1. Strict control of high dollar volume items
2. Higher inventory control level
3. Leads to inventory turnover and service level increases
4. Resources are better allocated to control efforts.

Drawbacks of ABC Analysis for Inventory
• Less control over B and C, etc. items
• Not an “all-purpose” inventory control method
• Profit not necessarily maximized

How does ABC analysis work?
Steps in ABC Analysis:
1. Determine the dollar volume
2. Rank items.
3. Calculate the percentage dollar volume for each item.
![Page 9: ABC Analysis for Inventory](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061116/54669867b4af9f01758b4588/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
How does ABC analysis work? (continued)
4. Determine the cumulative percentages for number of items and dollar volume
5. Classify items as A, B, C, etc.
