ABSTRACT The ABC analysis is a well known and practical classification of inventory items based on the Pareto principle. The purpose of ABC analysis is to classify the inventory into different groups of A‚ B‚ or C‚ according to importance based on measure of a criterion.

The ABC approach states that‚ when reviewing inventory‚ a company should rate items from A to C‚ basing its ratings on the following rules: A-items are goods which annual
