Apple turns over its inventory every 5 days, faster than any other company aside from Mcdonalds  

A new Gartner report on supply chain prowess has been released. It shows off some interesting statistics about how big companies run their financials and inventory.

Apple excels in three metrics:

1. It has the second highest weighted return on assets of any company besides H&M, a vendor that makes cheap, but stylish, clothes.
2. It has the highest revenue growth of any company on the list, so it’s making more money faster.
3. It has the second highest inventory turnover rate, every 5 days, second only to McDonalds, who specializes in shoving fast food out the door as quickly as possible.

The inventory turnover is the crazy bit. Apple turns its entire inventory over 74 times a year, while McDonalds does it 142 times a year. By comparison, the next highest comparable company was Dell, who only manages 35.6 per year.

More Tim Cook genius at work.
