Context
Context: CCC decisions slow down when teams disagree on terms, incentives, and inventory policy. Without a shared playbook, the cash speed versus relationship risk tradeoff stays implicit and accountability erodes.
Options
- Option A: Keep current terms and focus only on monitoring, accepting limited CCC improvement.
- Option B: Pilot phased levers by segment and scale once guardrails hold.
- Option C: Aggressively tighten terms and inventory to maximize cash speed.
Decision
Decision: Choose Option B. Roll out levers by segment, monitor service and supplier guardrails, and expand only if CCC targets improve without disruption. Document owners and review dates.
Rationale
Rationale: Option B preserves flexibility and avoids relationship shocks by validating levers before full rollout, while still accelerating cash velocity. Segment-based pilots reveal where term changes or inventory adjustments harm service levels, so the playbook can be tuned before scaling. This lowers margin erosion risk and keeps supplier health intact.
Risks
- Lagging AR/AP data can mask deterioration in CCC until it is costly to fix.
- Poor change management can trigger customer or supplier backlash.
Next
Next: Assign owners for DSO/DIO/DPO metrics, finalize segment targets, and publish the CCC playbook. Schedule the first review checkpoint and escalation path for guardrail breaches.
