customers” - Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals

EXAMPLE
Assume that ABC company currently has sales of 20 mil./year, with
• a stock level of 35% of sales
• Annual holding cost for the stock is 20% of value
• Operating costs are 8 mil./year
• other assets are valued at 15 mil.
Question: What is the current return on assets? How does this change if stock
levels are reduced to 25% of sales?
