What is the inventory turnover formula?
Inventory turnover = cost of goods sold ÷ average inventory value, where average inventory = (starting value + ending value) ÷ 2.
What are days of stock on hand (DSI)?
Days in the period ÷ turnover ratio. It shows roughly how many days your current stock would last at your normal selling rate.
What is a good inventory turnover ratio?
It depends on the industry. Groceries turn very fast; hardware, spare parts and furniture turn slower. The most useful comparison is your own trend over time.
How can I improve a low turnover?
Find items that haven't moved, discount or return them, and order smaller quantities more often. StockSimple's dead stock report shows which items are tying up cash.
