A method and system for assigning a classification to a device having a set of qualifying classifications. The method includes the steps of obtaining an inventory count for each classification of device included in the set of qualifying classifications, comparing the inventory count for each such classification to a safety stock number, and assigning a classification to the device from among the classifications which have an inventory count less than the safety stock number.
