The decrease in DOH from 2021 to 2023 can be interpreted as a positive sign, as it may indicate that TE Connectivity Ltd is managing its inventory more effectively and turning over stock more efficiently. This could lead to reduced carrying costs and potential savings for the company.

Overall, while the trend of TE Connectivity Ltd's DOH has been somewhat volatile, the recent improvements in inventory turnover suggest a positive shift towards better inventory management practices. However, continuous monitoring and optimization of inventory levels will be essential for the company to maintain efficient operations and profitability in the future.
