What is Cash conversion cycle?

Days inventory outstanding plus days sales outstanding minus days payables outstanding, showing how many days cash is tied up in the operating cycle.

Shortening the cycle reduces working capital needs and financing costs. Extending supplier terms, optimising inventory and disciplined collections are the main levers.
