08Logistics Analysis: Differences between ABC Analysis and EIQ Analysis

ABC analysis is a line (one-dimensional), while EIQ analysis is a mesh (two-dimensional).

Because the lines in ABC analysis have two or more points, they have vectors (directions) and their characteristics can be determined.

EIQ analysis is a mesh (two-dimensional) with intersections between E and I, and provides from-to information in addition to characteristics.
The table below is a summary table divided into five groups using the ABC analysis method.
Below is an EIQ matrix table for EIQ analysis.

Shipping destinations (E) and items (I) are cross-tabulated. This is a summary based on case conversion (1 item).
The vertical total is the shipping destination (E) summary, and the horizontal total is the item (I) summary. The totals are the same. The rack contents of shipping destination (E) and item (I) match perfectly.
We can see that 1,691 cases of CKeI_A1 rank products were shipped from CE_A1 rank.

In conclusion, ABC analysis is used when looking at the big picture, while EIQ analysis is used when analyzing in detail.
The table below is a summary table divided into five groups using the ABC analysis method.

Shipping destinations (E) and items (I) are tallied separately. Many items are listed.
Although the totals are the same, there is no correlation between the rankings of shipping destinations (E) and items (I).
You can understand it better by looking at the TCalc homepage.
