Abstract

The cash conversion cycle (CCC), a proxy metric used for the measurement and management of Working Capital (WC), has long been established in previous research as being crucial to organizational profitability. The same holds true for the measure of productivity. Intuitively, synergies between CCC and productivity are obvious: both influence profitability. This paper explores analytically this intuitive relationship between Total Productivity (TP) and CCC that is lacking in literature. The concept of TP is derived from the theory of Total Productivity Management, which acknowledges and includes in its framework the impact of non-operational factors on operations and as such states that WC influences productivity and thereby profitability. The results of such an analysis will assist engineering managers to understand this critical relationship in addition to providing the platform for further research into the predictability of health/profitability of an organization using either or both of TP and CCC.
