Posted by Kristeen on Jun 17, 2026 at 10:44 AM

Paul, a Warehouse Manager, is using an ABC method to classify inventory. Which class would contain the most valuable products?

Suggested Answer: A

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:

ABC (Pareto) classification typically groups a small proportion of high-value items as ''A'' (often 10--20% of items accounting for a large share of value), with ''B'' and ''C'' representing progressively lower value importance. (Reference: CIPS L5M10 Study Guide, ABC inventory categorisation, p. 9)
