ABC classifications are applied to stock and its management is based loosely on the Pareto princi-ple, better known as the 80/20 rule.
The likely outcome of analysis of inventory (value importance):
- Category A - about 20% of the stock items account for about 80% of the total inventory value. Items in category A have the highest value.
- Category B - about 30% of items account for about 15% of total inventory value
- Category C - the remaining 50% of items account for 5% of the total inventory value
