On the lighter side…you know you have an inventory problem at work when:

1. Trucks with incoming material mysteriously get lost and don’t make it to the receiving dock until the day after the end of the month.
2. The inventory analysts go around with crowns on their head to remind them that Cash is King.
3. You have multiple ways to define an inventory turns metric.
4. You automatically calculate the carrying cost of your groceries when you go shopping
5. Product marked as ‘sold’ hasn’t quite made it out of your building or invoiced
6. You take a few liberties categorizing the inventory… expense, capital or sales??
7. You suddenly have an increase ‘in transit’ inventory and some of it is in the middle of the ocean
8. Your best customer is called ‘We Haul Your Junk’
9. You go to bed counting inventory bins instead of sheep
10. The Job description of your Buyers in the Procurement dept has changed to Sellers
