| description | Read days-on-hand as tied-up cash vs stockout risk by class, handling specialty/340B/refrigerated distinctly. Reach for this on an inventory question. |
Skill: Balance inventory and days-on-hand
Too much inventory is dead cash; too little is a stockout and a lost script (§3 #2).
Step 1 — Measure days-on-hand
Inventory value ÷ daily COGS, by drug class.
Step 2 — Separate specialty
Specialty/refrigerated/340B handled distinctly — large tied-up cash on specialty (§3 #2 #6).
Step 3 — Read the balance
Tied-up cash vs stockout risk per class (§3 #2).
Step 4 — Set class-specific targets
Not a blanket DOH target across the book (§3 #2 #6).
Output
A days-on-hand read by class with specialty handled distinctly and the cash/stockout balance named.
