Who assigns the MCC and for what reason?

The assignment of the Material Control Code (MCC) is the responsibility of the Item Manager, who does so in order to effectively separate items into manageable groups. This grouping is crucial for inventory management, as it facilitates better organization and control over stock. By categorizing items based on various factors such as frequency of use, value, and item characteristics, the Item Manager can establish a more efficient inventory system. This ultimately aids in tracking, ordering, and maintaining inventory levels, which is essential for logistical operations.
