Jim - may be necessary for CPQ to clear out its inventory pipeline Looks like the problem is the opposite - not enough inventory in the CPQ pipeline. If you had read a little more carefully from the article you posted, you would have answered your own question - The computer maker, rebounding from inventory problems during the first two quarters, had reduced levels to about 3.5 weeks on June 30.

I thought we were at 3 weeks in the channel and 6 weeks mfg inventory, but it looks like servers are 0 in the channel and 0 in mfg inventory...
