The XYZ analysis is a procedure of stock management in the management economics, with which on the basis empirical experiences, results are usually assigned to a classification by bill explosions or by the determination by variation and/or fluctuation coefficients of goods and articles concerning its turnover regularity (consumption and its predictableness).

Articles, which are sold very regularly and in to some extent constant numbers of items (e.g. Bulbs), are called X-articles, while the Z-class contains such articles, whose sales runs very irregularly or even stochastically (like e.g. Spare parts). Sometimes the XYZ analysis is called also RSU analysis, with R for regular, S for and U for irregular.

Classes become summarized as follows:

• X constant consumption, fluctuations are rather rare
• Y stronger fluctuations in consumption, usually for trend-moderate or seasonal reasons
• Z completely irregular consumption

The XYZ analysis in the materials requirement Planning (materials requirements planning), in addition, in camp planning and in the calculation is used, frequently combined with the ABC analysis.
