The survey is a continuation of several years of ongoing research. Conducted by Gatepoint Research, 100 executives surveyed came from a wide range of industries including General and High Tech Manufacturing, Retail, and Wholesale Trade. We discovered 36% of those surveyed stated that their organization has too much cash tied up in inventory, and 29% said that they have too much excess and/or obsolete inventory. This survey provides additional insight and identifies common challenges companies currently experience.
