Inventory TurnsIn business management, inventory turns (IT) measures the number of times money invested in goods to be sold turns over in a year. An item whose inventory is sold (turns over) once a year has higher holding cost than one that turns over twice, or three times, or more in that time. The real purpose of inventory reduction campaigns is to increase inventory turns, for three reasons. - Increasing inventory turns reduces holding cost. The organization spends less money on rent, utilities, insurance, and other costs of maintaining a stock of good to be sold.
- Items that turn over more quickly increase responsiveness to changes in customer requirements while allowing the replacement of obsolete items.
