Working capital requirement (WCR) measures the cash timing gap between customer collections and supplier/inventory payments. Average customer payment term: 41 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 48 days. Favorable situation: supplier credit is longer than customer credit by 7 days. Inventory turnover is 142 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). This high level ties up cash and potentially creates obsolescence risk. WCR is negative (-34 days): operations structurally generate cash.
