ABC classifications allow the inventory manager to assign priorities for inventory control. Strict control needs to be kept on A and B items, with preferably low safety stock level. Taking a lenient view, the C class items can be maintained with looser control and  with high safety stock level. The ABC concept puts emphasis on the fact  that every item of inventory is critical and has the potential of affecting ,adversely, production, or sales to a customer or operations. The categorization helps in better  control on A and B items.

 

In addition to other management procedures, ABC classifications can be used to design cycle counting schemes. For example, A items may be counted3 times per year, B items1 to2 times, and C items only once, or not at all.
