This analysis represents the classification of items based on the criticality. The analysis classified the items in 3 groups called vital, essential, and desirable.
- Vital items are those items that unavailability of which will stop the production.
- Essential items are those items whose stocks out cots are very high.
- Desirable items will not cause any immediate production stoppage and their stocks out costs are nominal.
So this analysis is mainly carried out to identify critical items.

- Items are classified into:
Vital:
- Shortage cannot be tolerated.
Essential:
- Shortage can be tolerated for a short period.
Desirable:
- Shortage will not adversely affect, but may be using more recourse. These must be strictly scrutinized.
