How do you calculate inventory ROI?

Compare your current inventory value and carrying cost to a target level. The difference in freed capital and annual carrying cost is the return.

What is inventory carrying cost?

The annual cost of holding stock, usually 15 to 25 percent of value, covering space, insurance, taxes, obsolescence, and tied-up capital.

How much can better inventory turns save?
