ven, cpq is cutting back from 4000 dealers to 500 dealers. if they cut inventory to two weeks then microage will be asked to carry 1.5 to 3 times as much as they have in the past and cpq is still down to 2 weeks of inventory.. the math is simple...you think jim and mh could figure that out. take the inventory now and cut it to two weeks then take 4000 and divide it by 500... then divide one ratio by the other..... that's the avg. amt. of inventory microage has to has move than now to equalt 2 weeks of channel inventory for cpq. micro age should be glad since the sales are split 500 ways not 4000 ways... I'll be glad since with the extra inventory I can order cpq and have it ship that day.
