“A” Priority Items Walk Through Procedure “A” priority items are the most critical ones in your Crib. These items require tight inventory controls. You are expected to set Re-Order Points, & adjust Re-Order Qty to make sure stock-outs do NOT occur. You are expected to conduct frequent cycle counts to verify inventory accuracy. In JCIM, usually "A" priority items comprise Items that there are no other alternative stock items to use in place of them. There is no alternate equipment that can be used. There are long lead times for order & delivery. Ideally,  "A" priority items comprise of 5 – 10% of your total inventory, but make up 70 – 85% of the total annual dollar value of usage in your Crib.
