ABCanalysis (version 1.1.2)

ABCanalysis: Computed ABC analysis: calculates a division of the data in 3 classes A, B and C

Description

divide the Data in 3 classes A, B and C such that A=Data[Aind] : with low effort much yield B=Data[Bind] : yield and effort are about equal C=Data[Cind] : with much effort low yield

Usage

ABCanalysis(Data,ABCcurvedata,PlotIt=FALSE)

Arguments

Data

vector(1:n) describes an array of data: n cases in rows of one variable, if matrix or dataframe then first column will be used.

ABCcurvedata

only for internal usage, list from ABCcurve

PlotIt

default(FALSE), if variable is used, a plot is made, set with arbitrary value

Value

Output is of type list which parts are described in the following

Details

Pareto point: Minimum distance to (0,1) = minimal unrealized potential

BreakEven Point: B_x is the x value of the point, where the slope of ABCcurve equals one.

For further description to p in variable AlimitIndInInterpolation see ABCcurve
