The days of inventory on hand (DOH) for Dell Technologies Inc has fluctuated over the past 20 quarters, ranging from a low of 17.67 days to a high of 30.49 days. This indicates variability in the efficiency of managing inventory levels during the period under review.

On average, Dell has maintained inventory for about 21 days over the period. A decreasing trend in DOH from 2019 to 2023 suggests that Dell has been successful in managing its inventory more effectively, potentially through improved supply chain management or inventory control practices.

Overall, a lower DOH implies that Dell is efficiently managing its inventory levels, reducing the risk of excess inventory and related holding costs. However, consistent monitoring and optimization of inventory turnover will be crucial for Dell to sustain its operational efficiency and financial performance in the future.
