Product Characteristics Impacts on Planning
Product life cycle 80-20 rule Individual characteristics:
Weight-Bulk ratio (ration of weight to volume, density; e.g. cotton vs. steel)
Value-Weight ratio (coal vs. jewelry) Substitutability (customer’s reaction when not in
stock) Risk characteristics (perishability, flammability, ease
of being stolen)

Divides on-hand inventory into 3 classes A class, B class, C class
Basis is usually annual $ volume $ volume = Annual demand x Unit cost
Policies based on ABC analysis A items receives wide geographic distribution through many
warehouses, with high levels of stock availability Give tighter physical control of A items Forecast A items more carefully C items might be distributed from a single, central stocking
point(e.g. plant), with lower total stocking levels than for the A items
B items would have an intermediate distribution strategy where few regional warehouses are used
ABC Analysis
8
Inventory Value of the Products in a Warehouse
80-20 rule and ABC analysis can be used as the basis of grouping the products in a warehouse
y= (1+A)xA+X
where, Y= Fraction of cumulative sales X= Fraction of items A: constant to be determined If the relation between X and Y is already known:
A= X(1-Y)(Y-X)
