Summary

According to the Ito report announced by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry in August 2014, it was pointed out that the issues of Japanese companies are not in asset turnover rates and financial leverage, but in terms of their ability to make earnings, compared to western companies. However, I believe that both accounts receivable turnover and inventory turnover are generally lower than those in Europe and the United States, among asset turnover rates, which is an issue for CCC (Cash Conversion Cycle) management.

Inventory is an important management resource.
Inventory is said to be a source of profit for business, at the same time, to cause loss. Especially in manufacturing, retail and wholesale business, management indicators are used to measure whether product inventory is being converted into sales efficiently.
In general, the following two are used.
1. Inventory turnover rate
Inventory turnover (times) = sales · cost of sales (annual) ÷ inventory amount
The inventory turnover rate is mainly used by executives for presentations for investors or shareholders.
2. Inventory turnover period
Inventory turnover period = inventory amount ÷ sales or cost of sales (monthly or daily)
In fast-rotating industries such as foods, the daily sales are used for denominator and "days of stock days" is indicated.
The inventory rotation period is practically used well.

Annual average and month end stock are used for inventory, but the actual value for sales period / cost of sales is used for that period.
It is enough to explain the past and current situation of inventory, but I think that it is inappropriate as an indicator for future decision-making internally. In other words, it is not inventory turnover as management accounting.

I am convinced that inventory turnover days are an indicator that can assist decision-making to be shared by management, sales department in charge of operations, manufacturing, procurement, and logistics personnel as inventory-based management consultant.

    Storytelling acts as a fantastic teaching tool that imparts life lessons to people of all ages. Storytelling has proved its durability and importance beyond any shadow of a doubt, beginning with the dawn of civilization and continuing in this era of almost immediate access to all knowledge. It has influenced our world in a number of ways, some of which are boringly simple to see and understand, and some of which remain more mysterious and enigmatic in meaning.The value storytelling retains inspiration as a source and as a teaching method makes it possess the most important heritage of humanity. Storytelling is about tales. It's about using stories to reach the audience or clarify something more - naturally, images, videos, and video help to tell a good story, too. Stories have also been a form of conveying. They'd tell each other stories before the people knew how to write.This brings brands back to earth as they are honest and genuine, which lets customers engage with them and the people behind them. Tapping into the feelings of people and highlighting the positive as well as the negative is how stories inspire and empower and ultimately push action.In this audiobook, we will be looking at the following in detail:- Storytelling: aims and applications- The 5Ws - when, where, what, who, why for good storytelling- Ways to make your story interesting and believable- The power of details- Persuasion techniques- Empathic communication- Storytelling in everyday social life- Business storytellingStories put people together in a world separated by a multitude of issues and build a sense of community. Notwithstanding our language, culture, political preferences, or ethnicity, stories bind us through how we feel and react to them. Stories make us human.Grab your copy, now, and enjoy it!!
