- ABC analysis is a categorization technique that groups items based on their importance or contribution to overall value.
- In one project, we classified products into A, B, and C categories based on revenue contribution.
- Category A represented high-value items contributing the majority of revenue.
- Category B included moderate contributors.
- Category C consisted of low-value, long-tail items.
- It is commonly aligned with the Pareto principle (80/20 rule).
- ABC analysis helps prioritize inventory management and business focus.
- Overall, it supports resource optimization by concentrating on high-impact segments.
