Working Capital Management

See: Working Capital.

How much capital do you really need? Like...did you really need to buy 300,000 tires in advance and then store them in your bicycle warehouse? They represent 5 years' worth of expected tire needs, and rubber doesn't get better with age. It ain't red wine. Those tires cost you something like $10 million, consuming a massive amount of working capital...money that could have been deployed much more efficiently elsewhere.
