Your average inventory value—counting raw resin, work-in-progress, and finished medical components—was \u003cstrong\u003e$300,000\u003c\/strong\u003e. Here’s the quick math for your Q1 ITR:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"card_smpl_formula\"\u003e\nITR = $1,500,000 \/ $300,000 = 5.0\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis means you sold through your average inventory investment \u003cstrong\u003e5 times\u003c\/strong\u003e during the quarter. If you aim for a 6.0 ratio, you know you need to reduce average inventory by about \u003cstrong\u003e$50,000\u003c\/strong\u003e or increase COGS by $300,000.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \n\u003cdiv class=\"card_smpl\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"card_smpl_header\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"\/cdn\/shop\/files\/fml_20_fml-20-blog-tips-icon.svg\" alt=\"Icon\" class=\"icon_how_to_use\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTips and Trics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"lst_crct_blog\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrack resin ITR separately from finished goods ITR for better control.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet a target ITR based on your longest resin lead time plus 30 days buffer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlways review ITR alongside Machine Utilization Rate (MUR) to spot bottlenecks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf resin inventory sits over 120 days, investigate purchasing terms defintely.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"FinancialModelsLab","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49303914414323,"sku":"plastic-injection-molding-kpi-metrics","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/6191\/2762\/files\/plastic-injection-molding-kpi-metrics.webp?v=1782689518","url":"https:\/\/financialmodelslab.com\/products\/plastic-injection-molding-kpi-metrics","provider":"Financial Models Lab","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
