Strategies for Performing an ABC Analysis
The following four strategies are available to you:
Total key figure in %
The characteristic values assigned to the A, B, or C segments account for a specific percentage of the total key figure value.
Note
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
Number of characteristic values in %
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
Key figure (absolute)
You can define the boundaries between the A and B segments, and between the B and C segments.
Example: Key Figure (Absolute) Strategy
Number of characteristic values
You can define the number of characteristic values for the A and B segments. All remaining characteristic values are assigned to the C segment.
