Holding less inventory in 2020 compared to 2019, therefore, decreasing the cash conversion cycle

However, in 2020, while the Avg daily COGS increased from 157,765,336 in 2019, the inventories and accounts receivables increased as well. They weren’t able to manage their inventories as well which might have resulted in a higher CCC in 2019
