Lagerumschlagshäufigkeit

Inventory turnover rate is a key indicator that shows how often the average inventory is turned over or renewed within a specific period (usually one year). This metric is an important indicator of warehouse management efficiency and a company's liquidity. A high turnover rate indicates efficient inventory management, while a low turnover rate may indicate overstocking or low demand.
