Observation D: The assembly area runs out of low value item such as nuts,
bolts, screws, and washers etc. This causes a significant amount of downtime

inventory items according to some measure of importance. It can assign C to
low value items such as nuts and bolts (the 973 items costing $314,673) and
A to high value parts (179 items costing $220,684) which are needed on a
low volume but have higher per unit costs. A-B-C approach will ensure that
the company puts more control on high end parts and just enough control to
