what is ABC analysis please describe briefly.

Answer Posted / mrithulla

ABC analysis is a business term used to define an inventory
categorization technique often used in materials
management. ABC analysis provides a mechanism for
identifying items which will have a significant impact on
overall inventory cost whilst also providing a mechanism
for identifying different categories of stock that will
require different management and controls. When carrying
out an ABC analysis, inventory items are valued (item cost
multiplied by quantity issued/consumed in period) with the
results then ranked. The results are then grouped typically
into three bands. These bands are called ABC codes.
ABC codes
 "A class" inventory will typically contain items
that account for 80% of total value, or 20% of total items.
 "B class" inventory will have around 15% of total
value, or 30% of total items.
 "C class" inventory will account for the remaining
5%, or 50% of total items.
ABC Analysis is similar to Pareto in that the "A class"
group will typically account for a large proportion of the
overall value but a small percentage of the overall volume
of inventory
ABC Analysis considers Antecedents, Behavior and
Consequences of individual actions. It can be used in two
circumstances:
 When doing general job analysis
 When investigating actual behaviors (for example
when someone is under-performing or has transgressed
company rules).

Bonjour Incroyable , mais VRAI ,il y a trop d'escroquerie dans les offres de prêt entre particulier ,donc faite attention a l'Afrique. Moi j'ai visité un site d'annonce du Canada de prêt entre particulier sérieux^partout dans le monde et j'ai connu une Dame formidable, du nom de Mme Maryvonne de nationalité francaise qui aide les gens en leur faisant des prêts et qui m'a accordé un prêt de 350000¤ pour l'achat d'un immobilier que je dois rembourser sur 20ans avec un très faible interêt de sa part soit 3% l'ans.Avant que je ne recoive le montant , j'ai juste souscris une assurance de 2450¤ sur toute ma durée de prêt et là le lendemain matin j'ai reçu l'argent sans payer aucun frais ou taxe de Banque.Besoin de credit personnel ,vos banque refuse de vous accorder de pret,vous etes en CDI et autre de vous adresser à lui et vous serrez satisfait mais attention à vous qui n'aimez pas rembourser les prêts. Voici son mail : maryvonne.loan@gmail.com
