Abstract

Working capital and the cash-to-cash cycle are important indicators to reveal supply chain efficiencies. Thereby, the objective is to balance and optimize the amount of working capital to successfully manage a company. Until recently traditional approaches were used to improve working capital mainly focusing on a single company. In contrast, the Supply Chain Finance approach provides opportunities to improve working capital for all parties involved in a supply chain.
