In recent periods, there appears to have been an improvement in inventory management efficiency, as evidenced by the decreasing trend in DOH from the end of 2022 to the mid-year of 2023. However, there was a sharp increase in DOH in the first quarter of 2023, which suggests potential challenges in managing the company's inventory levels.
