ABC AnalysisABC Analysis
Purpose of the ABC Analysis: The business goal is to have on time delivery while
minimizing inventory expense. We want to manage the most inventory dollars with our limited resources.
By closely managing A and B items (50% of the stock keeping units), we can control 95% of the inventory cost.

ABC Analysis StepsABC Analysis Steps
1. Multiply annual volume by unit cost to obtain annual dollar volume for each stock keeping unit (SKU).
2. Rank SKUs in descending extended dollar amount.
3. Assign A, B, or C ranking to each SKU:
A = top 80% of dollars
B = next 15% of dollars
C = bottom 5% of dollars

Types of Storage AreasTypes of Storage Areas Receiving drop zone
– Organize by cell– First area where parts are delivered to facility
Point of Use– Located at cell– Used for standard parts– Replenished by POU storage racks
Discrete (DSY/Non Standard)– Organized by cell– Parts are ordered based on schedule cards– Waterspider will kit parts before storing in area– Always look for on hand inventory first
• Physically go to storage racks to verify • Do not rely solely on information in Oracle
– Physically move discrete parts to cell and identify as discrete parts only Excess Storage (Overflow)
– Organized by cell– Not intended to be a long term storage area– Used for Standard and Non Standard parts
Supermarket– Area with dedicated locations– Used to locate parts that are used by many cells

(Daily Usage x Lead Time) + Safety Stock
Container Capacity
Number of Multi KB bin/card
2 Bin/Card Capacity – The amount you should put in each bin
(Daily Usage x Lead Time) + Safety Stock*
+ 1
• Safety Stock = (Daily Usage x Lead Time) x Facility determined percent • Facility determined percent may differ for A, B, and C items or it may be the same• If daily usage is 100 units, lead time is 5 days, and facility determined percent is 10%, then
safety stock is (100 x 5) x .1 = 50 units• 2 Bin Capacity = (100 x 5) + (100 x 5) x .1 = 500 + 50 = 550 units per container
• Daily usage is 100 units, lead time is 5 days, facility determined percent is 10%, safety stock is 50 units, and Container Capacity = 100
• # of Multi KB bin/card = {[(100 x 5) + ((100 x 5) x .1)]/ 100} + 1 = (550/100) + 1 = 6.5 bins/cards --- round up to 7 bins/cards

Purchasing StrategyPurchasing StrategyGoing forward the ABL Blanket Purchase Order Strategy will be as
follows:
Suppliers must deliver A and B type KB items within 1-5 days including transit time (a list of your A and B items will be provided to you)
Suppliers must hold inventory if mfg lead time is greater than 5 days
Supplier who has delivery performance that is less than acceptable, will be required to carry additional inventory to meet an acceptable delivery
performance
Each part number on A and B type items will have their own specific PO number to streamline receiving and invoicing transactions
ABL Supplier Development Group is available as a resource
SLC- If transit time > 4 days, it is supplier’s responsibility to engage a 3rd party warehouse or service to locate inventory closer to our facility.

Will a Forecast be provided?
Except for new components, forecast usage will not be provided. Upon exiting our current agreement, both a current-state and post-exit Kanban snapshot (including container quantity, number of containers, and lead time) will be provided for each component.
Going forward, it will be the supplier’s responsibility to monitor their sales history to generate usage information, and it will be up to each Focus Factory to communicate any Kanban set-ups changes to the supplier.

32
How will you communicate spike orders or demand surges related to sales promotions?
When new orders reach our Assembly Cells, they are reviewed for extraordinary material requirements (“spike orders”).
Any demand surges related to spike orders or sales promotion activities will be relayed to suppliers by the Focus Factory Buyer.

Who are our Focus Factory buyer contacts?
A list of Focus Factories and the Buyer(s) associated with each Focus Factory has been posted at the following link, along with other supplier-related instructional and informational documents:http://www.acuitybrandslighting.com/ABL_PartnerLinks.aspx

How can I provide materials within 1 - 5 days if my transit time exceeds 3 days?
Suppliers facing this challenge should make arrangements to maintain inventory within 3 days transit of the Acuity destination facility.
Suppliers can either utilize a 3PL warehouse provider, or make arrangements with another Acuity supplier within the target distance who may be willing to manage your inventory locally.
