The document discusses different inventory classification systems:
- The High, Medium, Low (HML) classification ranks inventory items based on unit value rather than annual consumption. Items are sorted by descending unit value and assigned to categories based on pre-set value thresholds.
- A two-bin inventory system uses two bins to monitor inventory levels of low-value items. When one bin is empty, it is refilled from the second bin to minimize stockouts.
- Inventory classification systems help control consumption at the department level, determine verification frequency, and delegate purchasing authority. They aid in inventory management and buying policies.
