Screenshot: Pareto/ ABC Analysis Form

The Pareto/ ABC Analysis Form splits the products into bands based upon how much each item contributes to overall demand. Classification can be based on units, profit, sales or cost. In this example, the analysis is by sales where the highest-sales items accounting for the first 80% of total sales will be classified as 'A' items (shown by the green section of the graph).
