Inventory
Turns
How many times you can “Turn” your money over
in a year. This is expressed as a ratio of the
total inventory to the annual sales. Example:
If the dollar value of the inventory (a number that probably
must be reported to both your banker and the government)
is $5,000,000 and the annual sales is $25,000,000, the inventory
turn is five. If the inventory can be reduced
to $1,000,000, the inventory turns become 25. Increasing
your inventory turns may require a paradigm shift by your
banker, who may think inventory is something of value rather
than MUDA.

In
today’s global environment, businesses must continuously
improve in order to remain competitive. Maintaining and
increasing market share is dependent upon a company’s
ability to deliver high-quality products—and the right
price—when the customer wants them. M2
