- Finished Goods
- The value of finished goods inventory exhibited a generally fluctuating trend over the six-year period. Starting at $3,847 million in 2013, it increased moderately in 2014 and 2015 to $3,973 million and $4,337 million, respectively. A notable decline occurred in 2016, dropping to $3,103 million, representing the lowest point within the timeframe. Subsequently, the finished goods inventory rebounded in 2017 and 2018, reaching $3,857 million and $4,019 million, respectively, though it did not surpass the 2015 peak.
- Purchased Parts and Fabricated Assemblies
- This category showed a fluctuating pattern with an overall declining tendency in the intermediate years. Beginning at $2,199 million in 2013, the figure increased to a peak of $2,442 million in 2014. The following year, 2015, experienced a decrease to $2,148 million, which continued sharply downward in 2016 to $1,381 million, marking the lowest value recorded over this span. A recovery trend is observed in 2017 and 2018, with values increasing to $1,929 million and $2,043 million, respectively, though still below the earlier peak.
- Inventory (Total)
- Total inventory values mirror the overall behavior of its components. Inventory rose gradually from $6,046 million in 2013 to $6,485 million in 2015, indicating an accumulation phase. A significant contraction occurred in 2016, with inventory dropping to $4,484 million, closely aligned with the declines seen in both finished goods and purchased parts categories. Following this decline, inventory levels increased in 2017 and 2018, reaching $5,786 million and $6,062 million, respectively, approaching but not exceeding previous highs.
