What it does

Example calculation of ABC analysis for warehouse management using pick frequency.

Rank counts how often each product is picked and groups products into A, B and C classes.

  • Ranks every SKU by how often it is picked
  • Groups SKUs into A, B and C classes you can set yourself
  • Shows the result as a table as well as a chart

See it in action

A worked example

Six SKUs and the number of times each was picked last month. Rank sorts them from most to least picked and groups them by share of all picks.

Frequency ABC for six SKUs

4SKU-09090094% (running)B
5SKU-31240098% (running)C

Put the A SKUs in the easiest-to-reach pick faces.
