Step 2 List the products in descending order based on their annual consumption value.
Step 3 Total up the number of units sold and the annual consumption value.
Calculate the cumulative percentage of items sold and cumulative percentage of the
Step 4 annual consumption values using the totals.
Determine the thresholds for splitting the data into A, B and C categories. The
threshold for determining the ABC split will be unique to your company and your
Step 5 product mix, but typically it’s close to 80%/15%/5%.
