Days Supply (New Vehicles)

Days Supply (New Vehicles)

Days in Period ÷ Sales:Stock Ratio

Guideline: Franchise Specific

Description:

This KPI aims to calculate how many days of new vehicle supply you currently have in stock.

Example:

A) Days in Period = 90
B) Units Sold = 39
C) Units in Stock = 21
D) Sales:Stock Ratio = 1.86 (B ÷ C)
E) Days Supply = 48 days (A ÷ D)

This illustration is showing that if you carry on selling at your current Sales:Stock ratio, then you have enough stock to continue trading for 48 days.

Discussion:

Vehicle supply varies considerably between franchise manufacturers, which is the main influence on this KPI.
