Abstract

Grouping products to determine their impact on business is a necessity. Therefore, in this paper, the integration of ABC analysis and the full consistency method (FUCOM) for determining a group of products is carried out. FUCOM is used to obtain the weighting coefficients for a group of products of Gorenje appliances. The research was conducted in the "Mepromex" shopping mall. The FUCOM method is applied to determine the values of three criteria: unit price, quantity, and annual procurement value. These criteria play a major role in the final sorting of products in this type of analysis. Additionally, a comparative analysis (i.e. single-criterion ABC analysis) is performed for each criterion separately.
