Technology - Alexis Madrigal - Wow! Apple Turns Over Its Inventory Once Every 5 *Days* - The Atlantic

Part of Tim Cook's competitive advantage

"Apple turns over its inventory once every five days.
That's part of why a new report from the technology research firm, Gartner, ranked Apple's supply chain the best in the world. And it's pretty amazing when you think about it. This is a company that sells hundreds of millions of hardware gadgets all over the world and yet it doesn't actually need to stockpile its goods.
The only company on Gartner's list of 25 companies that turns over its product faster is McDonald's, which is not exactly in the electronics business. Dell and Samsung rank two and three in Apple's category, turning over their inventory roughly once every 10 and 21 days respectively."
