Transcribed Image Text:Class C items usually represent only a small amount of the annual dollar volume spent on inventory, only about
5%, but are the majority of items, about 55% of all the items stocked. These are only guideline and the exact
amounts will change for different situations, but we are looking for the trivial many items, meaning the large
number of items that cost only a small amount of the total annual cost of all inventory.
Managing inventory is expensive and so we look for items where we spend less on managing these items in
inventory (forecasting, inventory controls, cycle counting, etc). For instance, a small amount of additional safety
stock may be less costly than the close managing of the item through supplier management, inventory controls,
and cycle counting.
With the small amount of items that we have in problems like this we don't always see the exact guidelines given
above. From the information we have what are the least costly items, usually there will be quite a few? From the
options below, select ALL of the inventory stock numbers (items) that would be classified as C items
during an ABC analysis (see problem from download in previous step):
