Work in Process Dynamics

Work in process inventory showed the most volatility and a general downward trend after 2015. After peaking at 120 million US dollars in 2015, the value declined and remained relatively stable between 87 million and 89 million US dollars during 2016 and 2017, ending the period at 79 million US dollars.

Finished Goods Progression

Finished goods grew steadily and consecutively from 2014 to 2017, rising from 92 million US dollars to 163 million US dollars. Consistent with the overall inventory trend, a reduction occurred in 2018, with values falling to 127 million US dollars.

Inventory Composition Analysis

The inventory structure is heavily weighted toward raw materials. The simultaneous peak of raw materials and finished goods in 2017 indicates a period of maximum operational scaling or strategic stockpiling, followed by a systemic reduction across all categories in 2018.
