The Industrial Perspective: Controlling inventory liabilities 

To succeed in turbulent times, industrial companies should now be seeking to reduce inventory liabilities while still maintaining performance, quality and service.

As KPMG's Karl Overall, Director of Business Performance Services, KPMG in the U.S. comments, "Financially, today's economy has changed inventory from an asset to a liability; where inventory velocity is a key competitive driver on par with on time in full delivery."

 

Topics covered:

 

  • Visibility into working-capital issues
  • Inventory as an asset
  • Excess inventory as a liability
  • Improving financial performance.
