Ever wondered why your supply chain metrics sometimes don't add up? Join us on the Chain Reaction Podcast as we uncover the mysteries behind fluctuating inventory turnover, return on assets, profit, cash flow, and accounts receivable. Learn how unexpected spikes in energy and labor costs, coupled with time lags in financial transactions, can create short-term financial hiccups. We'll show you how to analyze these metrics and manage cash flows effectively to sustain long-term financial stability in your business.
In our deep dive into the financial flows of a business, we'll examine the delicate balance between accounts payable and receivable. Discover the intricacies of purchasing cycles, invoice processing, and the importance of timely payments to maintain supplier trust. Additionally, we'll break down the significance of gross margins in supply chain profitability, shedding light on how to set prices and manage costs. Tune in to grasp the critical financial measures that underpin informed business decisions and drive organizational health.
