ABC

ABC component allows you to classify a dataset in three different groups of importance:
%%00009A: Most important
%%00009B: Average in importance
%%00009C: Least in importance

Example:

Step 1:
Identify the purpose of ABC-analysis. In this example we will classify the clientele based on annual turnover. All client that produce the 80% of the total turnover will be classified as A. Clients that produce the next 15% of the total turnover will be classified as B. All other clients will be classified as C. In this case the parameters must be set as: ID column = ClientID, Value column = Turnover, 1st Limit = 0.80 and 2nd Limit = 0.95. All next steps are executed by the ABC component automatically.

Step 2:
ABC component sorts the dataset in descending order based on client Turnover

Step 3:
ABC component calculates the total Turnover

Step 4:
ABC component calculates the Share of Turnover for each client

Step 5:
ABC component calculates the Running Total of Share

Step 6:
ABC component assigns the classification based on Running Total of Share

In addition, the ABC component provides and an interactive view which contains both output tables.

Options

ID column
Select a (string) or (integer) column with the IDs that will be used in ABC analysis
Value column
Select a (double) column with the Values that will be used in ABC analysis
1st Limit
Select the 1st (lower) Limit that will be used in ABC analysis (0 < 1st Limit < 1)
2nd Limit
Select the 2nd (upper) Limit that will be used in ABC analysis (1st Limit < 2nd Limit < 1)

Input Ports

Icon
Table containing the columns to be selected for ABC Analysis.

Output Ports

Icon
Input table with 4 additional calculated columns: 1. Total ("Value") type of number(double) 2. Share ("Value") type of number(double) 3. RunTot of Share ("Value") type of number(double) 4. ABC ("Value") type of string * where "Value" is the name of the selected value column. Each row of the output table is colored with a green/yellow/red color based on A/B/C classification value in the relevant ABC column.
Icon
Contains one row that describes the ABC model (basic info, parameters and stats).
