This technique assumes the basic principle of "vital few trivial many" while considering the inventory structure of any organisation and is popularly known as .................. .

  • A.ABC analysis
  • B.Bill of material
  • C.EOQ
  • D.Perpetual inventory system

Answer: A

The technique is ABC analysis.

ABC analysis applies Pareto's principle of the 'vital few and trivial many' to inventory. Items are ranked by annual consumption value: a small number of A items, often around 10% of items, account for most of the value and get the tightest control, while the many C items, worth little, get simple controls.

A bill of material lists the components needed for a product, EOQ is the order size that minimises ordering and holding costs, and a perpetual inventory system keeps a continuous record of stock. None of them classifies items by value.
