ABC_​Analysis_​Coefficient_​of_​Variability_​Approach

This workflow implements ABC analysis by factoring in the demand uncertainty. The uncertainty measure used here is called the coefficient of variation (CV). Through CV, items can now be classified not only with respect to Pareto’s principle but also with respect to demand.
