- Cash-to-cash cycle (C2C): the supply chain metrics that matter (300 words) In its simplest form, the cash-to-cash cycle = days of inventory + days of receivables – days of payables (note that the length of the C2C cycle can also be expressed in weeks as we have done in class) The smaller the number for C2C, the company can operate with less cash tied up in operations. What is the equity implication for C2C reduction by increasing the days of payables and decreasing the days of receivables? Is it healthy for the supply chain overall?
