Worked example

A Fortune 500 retailer’s top 5 SKUs by inventory value: Five things to notice:
  1. Top 20 typically hold 60-80% of value. Operations focus.
  2. High-value SKUs need cycle counts more often.
  3. Pair with Inventory Aging: high-value + aged = priority write-down.
  4. Insurance / loss-prevention focus.
  5. Drill into per-warehouse: which DC holds the high-value stock.
