The new credit controller must be a superhero or something. Imagine the power of their collections prowess! They could probably collect debt from a black hole.

Taking discounts from suppliers is a smart move, but I don't think it alone would account for such drastic changes in the ratios. The credit controller's efforts seem to be the key factor here.

Implementing a just-in-time system could also have contributed to the changes in the working capital ratios.

The workforce strike might have affected the ratios, but it seems like the credit controller's role is more influential.

I'm not sure about the strike situation. Even if deliveries were still received, the workforce being on strike for a month would likely have some impact on the working capital ratios.

Just-in-time inventory management could also be a valid explanation. It helps reduce the amount of cash tied up in inventory, which would boost the working capital ratios.

The new credit controller's rigorous collection procedure seems like the most likely reason for the improved working capital ratios. It's impressive how they were able to collect receivables more efficiently.

I disagree, I believe it's because of the just-in-time system of ordering inventory.
