What is XYZ analysis?
XYZ analysis classifies items by how regular and therefore predictable their demand is. X items support more stable automation, while Z items require more scenarios, manual review, or larger uncertainty allowances.
Practical example
A basic product with stable weekly sales is X. A limited launch product with irregular peaks is Z.
