Ford Motor Company's Days of Inventory on Hand (DOH) has shown some variability over the past few years. The trend indicates an increase in average DOH, moving from around 28 days in 2020 to approximately 38 days in 2024.

From December 2021 to December 2024, there has been fluctuation in the DOH figures, with peaks observed in March 2024 and December 2023. These fluctuations suggest potential challenges in managing inventory levels efficiently.

Overall, the increasing trend in DOH may indicate that Ford is carrying more inventory relative to its sales volume, which could tie up working capital and increase holding costs. Ford may need to focus on optimizing inventory management practices to reduce DOH and improve liquidity.
