A Items-based Pareto Analysis is used to determine the strategic inventory needs of a company. A form of Pareto Analysis, applied to a particular group of items so as to apply more selective inventory control. The inventory value for every item is derived by multiplying the total inventory cost by the average unit price and then ranking the items in descending order of highest to lowest inventory cost.

A good warehouse system will allow a company to control the flow of goods from the supplier, through the production line, to the customer. Thus you need a good return on your investment from both the manufacturing and distribution aspects of the operation. A system should also be able to track and trace all of these phases of the supply chain. Without a good warehouse management software, the chain can easily become unmanageable. If you run an online business then you know that your warehouse can be overwhelmed by large quantities of merchandise.

It can be quite a nightmare for warehousing and manufacturing company if it does not have an efficient warehouse system in place. Your company's financial statements will show you how well or badly your warehouse is managed if you record the sales of each product in the warehouse and how much of this product is actually sold at the end of the month. A better way to look at the data is to look at the sales of items divided by sales of products per location and then divide the total number of items sold by the number of locations in your warehouse.
