Inventory and Sales are different things and can go in two different directions.

Let's say you have inventory of 1.9 B$. Let's say 500 M of this is in components: Widgets, Mark V.

If 800 M$ worth of Widgets, Mark V went into last quarters' sales, you can reduce inventory by merely slashing purchasing from a normal rate of 800 M$ to 300 M$ and that 500 M$ pile of widgets will evaporate... without an uptick in sales.

This action on your part might not go down very well with the shareholders of your suppliers.

John.
