Inventory segmentation

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stock segmentation is a statistical method of inventory management that makes certain effects in storage clear or can visualize.

Assuming that all articles in a warehouse have a certain range and a purchase price , these two properties can be related to each other in a matrix. In each table cell it is then stored how many articles the corresponding combination applies to.

This method makes it easy to identify items that have a high range and a high purchase price and thus cause relatively high capital commitment costs.
