what is ABC analysis please describe briefly.

Answer Posted / vasudevarao

ABC analysis, Pareto’s law or “80/20 rule” are
all-synonymous of the same tool which
basically states that 20% of a given population represents
80% of a specific characteristic.
In purchasing, the basic ABC analysis is used to identify
which segments represent most of
the spend in a given category or portfolio. Most of the
time, few segments in a portfolio
constitute the largest part of the total spend.
Usually,
- The A segments represent approximately 80% of the total
spend within a category
- The B segments represent the following 15% of the total
spend within a category
- The C segments are the remaining (most of the time several
segments) which
represents the final 5% of the total spend
The ABC approach can also be used in other analyses such as:
- Spend per supplier in a portfolio: few suppliers will
represent most of the spend
- Number of orders per supplier: few suppliers will have
most of the orders in a portfolio
- Number of items bought per supplier: few suppliers will
deliver most of the articles in
a portfolio

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
