ABC Analysis

The ABC analysis is a method for prioritizing objects such as products, customers, or suppliers based on their significance. Objects are divided into three categories: A-objects (very important, small quantity), B-objects (important, medium quantity), and C-objects (less important, large quantity). This classification enables differentiated resource allocation and optimized warehouse and inventory management. Companies can thus focus their attention on the most valuable objects.
