Hello João, I am glad it was helpful for you ! Yes, you can forecast for several items at once. I would say that it doesn't matter if you have several forecasts that are family or items specific, or just one aggregated forecast, as long as you can get one table with all your items and forecasts that you will use for your classification.

Thank you very much, Very Excellent Explanation. Actually, I'm dealing with retails with more than 15K items and more than 80 category, how can I differentiate the Percentages of ABC for each category or is it fine to have it all with the same percentage, is there any rule to specify the percentage??

@abcsc

Hi Sereen, the same applies here: just make your ABC Analysis with 15K products (here I did it with 500 products). You could also make an ABC Analysis with 50 Category to see which ones are the most important (so you must sum the items' sales for each category).

Starting at 13:30 - to get %item by dividing the rank / Nb of items doesn't make sense to me (=A4/E2). Divide total count of each item/Nb of (All) Items is what I know to get %item.

Good Question ! As I pointed out in the video, we want the CUMULATIVE percentage item. Not the percentage of one item over the rest :) We get the cumulative percentage by starting with the first ranked items (A codes) and ending by the last ones. Thus, we can easily identify the 20/80 rule on the graph.

@abcsc

2 жыл бұрын

My pleasure Abd. I would definitely use ABC Analysis for inventory counting. I have been using it for many years with my warehouses and factories. You have 2 options : 1) ABC Classification based on the volumes of sales/movements/shipping 2) ABC Classification based on the volume of stock I would recommend the first option, and make sure you have more frequent inventory counting for A and B codes. WHY ? To guarantee the availability and inventory accuracy for your most strategic products. One of the main reason of poor service level is the incorrect information of available inventory. Your ERP/WMS thinks you have stock available, but in reality you don't and there is no automatic replenishment that can causes long term out of stock. Good luck with your inventory counting, hope you get more than 99% accuracy ;-) Edouard

it's funny when i remember how much i did spend time to do gather the data for my ABC analysis for my end-of-study project while you have sum it up all in a 21 video xD .. why 40% and not 20% ?

@abcsc

2 жыл бұрын

Thanks Nosy, I tried to keep it as simple as possible with example ;-) Why 40% ? it's the common distribution we find for most of the company. 5% of your product/action/services represent 40% of your sales/results ... It can vary a bit. In my examples it's 7%, but it also depends if you include inactive or discontinued product in your ABC Classification. Take care, Edouard

But doesn't situations appear where the company wants the same service level, lets say 98% for all categories a,b and c? How do you handle that situation ?

I talk more about setting service level targets in my ABC XYZ video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/X3uju6twZJnRdbw.html Targeting high service levels, no matter the category, assumes you focus exclusively on service levels and not on inventory costs. This kind of supply chain strategy typically prioritizes customer satisfaction, responsiveness, and flexibility above cost minimization. E.g.: High-end Luxury Goods where the cost of not meeting customer demand can be very high in terms of lost sales and diminished brand loyalty. Or Spare Parts and Maintenance where the cost of machinery downtime can be significantly higher than the cost of carrying extra inventory. But for most companies, you need to find the right balance between service levels and inventory levels. Again, Check my ABC XYZ video where I talk about it: kzread.info/dash/bejne/X3uju6twZJnRdbw.html
