Days Inventory Outstanding (DIO)

Days Inventory Outstanding measures how long inventory remains unsold before being converted into revenue. It highlights inventory efficiency and demand forecasting accuracy. Lower DIO reflects quicker inventory turnover and reduced holding costs, while higher DIO may indicate overstocking, slow-moving goods, or weak sales planning.
