Inventory, how can we help?

How can we help with inventory management?

In every downturn what happens?

Everyone starts to sell off the inventory that has accumulated over the last several years.
​What, why? Why wasn't that material used? Or why wasn't it sold during a good market? How is it that during a downturn a end user just realizes all that material in their stock? 

I know programs cancel, I understand string designs change. I understand engineers change their minds. 

Inventory management is key to any business to help with the FLOW.
