The cash conversion cycle = Days Sales outstanding + Days Inventory outstanding - Days Payable Outstanding

The business can speed up its cash cycle by reducing the cash conversion cycle by reducing Days sales outstanding, day’s inventory outstanding and increasing days payable outstanding,
This can be done by following:
1. Customers : Obtaining cash from customers should be fasters. This is done by providing cash discounts and other favourable terms to get cash in fewer days. This will decrease the day’s sales outstanding and helping reducing cash conversion cycle.

3. Inventory: Optimizing the levels of inventory and increase inventory turnover ratio will help in realising cash faster from Supplier and decrease the days inventory outstanding.
