An ABC Calculation is usually carried out within five steps, which are as follows:
-First, multiply the annual number of products with each item's cost and find the utility of that product.
-Make a category of every product in the descending order based on its usage value. 
-Add the usage value of the products, including the total number of items. 
-Find out the cumulative percentages of items sold and annual consumption value. 
-Now, it's time to divide your data into three categories, finally, in an approximate ratio of 80:15:5.
