Financial performance measures are Inventory Turns or Inventory Days of Sales (DOS) and Gross Margin Return on Inventory (GMROI). DOS measures how cost-efficient your inventory management is and higher inventory turns (lower DOS) are better. GMROI measures how much money company is making on its own inventory investment.
