In the retail stores, managers are complaining of frequent stock outs even though the DC is full of merchandise, which is not moving enough through the supplier, DC, and retail stores. The inventory issue also ties in with transportation problems where accurate lead and delivery times are non-existent. The inventory turnover is not at its full potential because if the DC has merchandise yet the stores are stocked out, the inventory is frozen and will become obsolete.

...ant improvement. The decline in property, plant, and equipment may be hurting Rondo and contributing to overall inefficiencies. Sales are growing but profits are not. Rondo's costs are too high and need to be reduced. In addition, inventory turns are degrading and inventory reduction strategies need to be investigated. A major problem for Rondo is the number of days it takes to collect accounts receivable. Significant focus is required in this area to free up cash, which can then be used to invest in property, plant, and equipment. These problems areas contribute significantly to an inefficient operation. This inefficiency inhibits profitability at Rondo and has led to a loss of investor confidence. Rondo's sales and net income have grown year over year and if the company can improve its efficiency in the areas noted above, investor confidence can be recaptured.
Like IBM, Hewlett-Packard made one mistake and cost itself billions of dollars in revenues. HP is a large electronics conglomerate. HP manufactures everything from calculators to top-secret government appliances. For HP the PC market is one of many. Originally Hewlett-Packard was the standard in computer electronics; however, this is not reality today. HP's reputation declined through the `80s and early `90s because of poor quality management. To regain the respect they had lost the marketing and engineering departments at HP worked their fingers to the bone to create a new image for the company. This was very effective; today HP owns a modest 6.2% of the PC market and a very healthy reputation for quality PC's and peripherals, (Industry Survey, Apr. 2000). HP has had some growth in the past few years but has failed to match the industry growth rates. The company's years of poor quality put a considerable hurt on their future growth; while HP was busy filling in the hole it dug for itself, industry leaders like Compaq and Dell were basking in their success.
