The text enclosed in the book consists of the working capital management in terms of exercising control over the three major components of working capital viz. Inventory Accounts Receivables & Payables and Cash. Any firm of manufacturing nature should set norms in respect of the said components and concentrate up on the production processes in order to reduce the production cost. This requires special attention with regard to materials which form part of major chunk of total cost of production.
