    Pareto's Law Analysis explained in plain English  
   
     
     
     
     
                       
    Analysis explained another way, but this time with greater precision  
    For better warehouse space utilization consider storing these fast moving SKUs    
    this number of pallets deep            
                       
    Store the next fast moving SKUs            
    this number of pallets deep            
                       
    For your 3rd fastest SKUs            
    this number of pallets deep            
    is ideal                  
                       
    For your bottom SKUs            
    this number of pallets deep            
    is ideal                  
                       
    For your slowest moving SKUs, if the quantity is less than a full pallet, shelving or pick media is recommended.
