Inventory management,simply astounding ! stephen: Thank you for posting the excerpt from Harvard Business Review,great job. I particularly liked the following part. We turn our inventory over 30 times per year. If you look at the complexity and the diversity of the product line, there's no way we could do that unless we had credible information about what the customer is actually buying. It's a key part of why rivals have had great difficulty competing with Dell. It's not just that we sell direct, it's also our ability to forecast demand-it's both the design of the product and the way the information from the customer flows all the way through manufacturing to our suppliers. Try and duplicate that,wow. This alone should add a few dollars to the stock price. Once again thanks.
