Strategies for Performing an ABC Analysis 

The following four strategies are available to you:

The characteristic values assigned to the A, B, or C segments account for a specific percentage of the total key figure value.

This strategy is only available for key figures that can be expressed as a total. This is not possible for average key figures, for example

Example: Total Key Figure in % Strategy

The number of characteristic values assigned to the A, B and C segments are given as a percent of the total number.

Example: Number of Characteristic Values in % Strategy

You can define the boundaries between the A and B segments, and between the B and C segments.

Example: Key Figure (Absolute) Strategy

You can define the number of characteristic values for the A and B segments. All remaining characteristic values are assigned to the C segment.

Example: Number of Characteristic Values Strategy
