The Three Bucket Theory --Dickeson

There's an elephant in your conference room. Look at your Fig DMOH. The minute deliverable product is completed it leaves the Wip and the finished goods inventory clock begins ticking. It ticks in Fig until the sale is booked and it enters the A/R (Accounts Receivable) classification. What Fig time says is: "This is how long it's taking us to get invoices for our jobs into e-mail." We're measuring a liquidity constraint. (Don't do this unless you're lying down and someone who knows CPR is standing by.) Again, view the days or hours globally for the enterprise and drill down locally by job.
