What is ABC log ® ?

The ABC log® methodology uses autonomously available data from the ERP with massive daily data calculations to establish tracking files for the supply chain and the production floor. ABC log is a calculation based on a log10 value. The ABC log value is the number of digits of the value.
  • Price between 100 and 999 -> log ABC Price = 3
  • Price between 10 and 99 -> Log ABC Price = 2
  • • Price between 1 and 9 -> Log ABC of the price = 1
Any value has a logarithmic ABC class: Price, Annual consumption in quantity, Annual value, Annual margin value. ABC Log facilitates the calculation of the company’s expenses by analyzing the costs per activity. This analysis allows you to know which of your activities is the most profitable and on the contrary the one that is the least profitable. Thus, you will have a more precise analysis to help you in your strategic choices, to make a reorganization for example or a cost reduction.
