Days of WIP Inventory

Days of WIP Inventory measures the average number of days of inventory the company holds on its books that have been classified as WIP inventory.

Calculation

Days of WIP Inventory
=
Work-in-Process Inventory   × 365 days
Cost of Goods Sold

where:

  • Work-in-Process Inventory = Average Work-in-Process Inventory during the year (the average of beginning and year-end WIP inventories). Work-in-Process inventory includes Unrestricted, Restricted and Blocked WIP inventories.
  • Cost of Goods Sold = Annual Cost of Goods Sold

Unit of measure: days (Calendar days)

Alternative names include: Inventory WIP Days of Supply. See also: WIP Inventory Turns.

Notes

Days of WIP Inventory may be calculated using value or volume. Value-based is preferred as AE focuses on the efficient use of capital. Volume-based calculations may overstate the importance of inventories of low-value materials.
