• Money not in your bank

Inventory doesn’t protect you.
It punishes you!

The longer it sits → the less it’s worth
The more you produce → the more cash you absorb
The more you guess → the more you waste
You don’t fix this with better storage.

• Demand discipline
• Production alignment
• Cash flow thinking
