ABC classification - ANS-Process of classifying items in descending order based on
annual dollar volume or some other criteria. The list is then split into 3 classes - A, B, and
C. A represents 10-20% of items but 50-70% of dollar volume; B represents 20% of items
and 20% of dollar volume; C represents 60-70% of items but 10-30% of dollar volume.
This principle states that effort and money can be saved by applying looser controls to
the low dollar volume items (C class) than the higher dollar volume items (A & B classes)
and applies to inventory, purchasing, sales, etc.

produce items with similar designs & cover wide range of order volumes; items ordered
are of a repeat nature
Bill of lading - ANS-Document issued by a carrier which details a shipment of
merchandise and gives title of that shipment to a specified party.
Bill of material (BOM) - ANS-Listing of all the subassemblies, intermediates, parts, and
raw materials that go into a parent assembly showing the quantity of each required to

date performance maintained at the constraint, convergent points (with a constraint
part), divergent points, and shipping points
