THE BUSINESS IS SIGNALING A DEEPER PROBLEM

Service is Slipping

Inventory is Growing

Inventory is Growing

Customers wait longer for orders

Inventory is Growing

Slow-moving inventory accumulates 

Warehouses continue filling up 

Cash is Tightening

Cash is Tightening

EBITDA comes under pressure 

Borrowing needs keep increasing 

WHY DO THESE PROBLEMS SHOW UP TOGETHER?

Because they usually aren't three separate problems.

Service, inventory, and cash are all driven by the same operating decisions. 

When those decisions drift apart, all three metrics suffer. 

That is the problem behind the problem.
