  • This report magically follows the 80-20 Pareto principle. It displays top 20% highest selling items and shows that they contribute more than 80% of the business
  • It means that if resources are prioritised for these items their availability and thus the delivery lead times will be better resulting in more business
  • It also means that 80% of the items are not even contributing to 20% of the business
  • This report is available in 2 variants. One with value and the other with quantity. Both have a different significance.
