Acer: Lowering Inventory Turnover in Germany
When I said earlier that it would be impossible for Acer to continue last year’s growth in Europe this year, I had guessed that the Taiwan PC manufacturer had the same thoughts. So, it isn’t surprising that Acer has announced its intention to lower its inventory turnover time in Europe to as little as 40 days (from 60 days) - even as it currently dominates the European notebook market.
Acer has also announced that its growth markets would be the United States and Asia, but surprisingly, not the Middle East. I had expected more growth coming in from the Middle East, especially given the new investments we’ve seen companies like Dell (and Acer itself) put into the region.
In any case, lowering inventory turnover time is a universal goal that almoast any manufacturing company should strive for, but when a market leader wants it done, it’s all the more significant.
