improvement or five focusing steps, outlined below:
1
IDENTIFY the constraint
2
Decide how to EXPLOIT the constraint
3
SUBORDINATE all policies, decisions and procedures to exploiting the constraint

..You have helped us in improving cash through reduction in receivables, inventories, export incentives etc. Net impact of these efforts has been reduction in gross working capital by Rs. 1100 Crores in 2016-17. This reduction is over and above the reduction of Rs. 2500 Crores achieved in 2015-16. In all, we have reduced our gross working capital by 56% despite increasing sales.
