ABC analysis

Back to the list of components

Purpose

The component implements a method that allows classifying resources by their importance based on the Pareto principle. Objects are divided into three groups (A, B, C) according to the boundaries of the groups. The boundaries of the groups are set in variables.

Input Ports

Name	Type
Input data set	Table
Group boundaries	Variables

Structure of the "Input dataset" table

Caption	Type	Description
Object	String	Identifier or name of the object being analyzed. For example, a product SKU
Value	Float	Value of the indicator for the object. For instance, total sales amount

Variables in the "Group Boundaries" Port

№	Caption	Type	Value
1	Bound 1 %	Float	80
2	Bound 2 %	Float	95

Group boundaries are set by the user. By default, the most commonly used boundaries are indicated.

Output Ports

Caption	Type
ABC groups and contributions of objects	Table

Structure of the "ABC Groups and Contributions of Objects" table

Caption	Type	Description
Object	String	Identifier or name of the object
Value	Float	Value of the indicator for the object
Cumulative Impact	Float	Accumulative impact of objects
Group	String	Identifier of the object's group
