Starting at 57.49 in December 2020, it increased to 76.85 by December 2021, further rising to 88.34 by December 2022.

However, the notable decrease in inventory turnover in December 2024 could indicate potential concerns such as overstocking, slowing sales, or ineffective inventory management strategies that may need further investigation and improvement.
