  "Our most recent study of performance in this area shows that the UK's largest organisations have improved the speed at which they pay their suppliers, of all sizes," says REL Consultancy president Stephen Payne."In fact payable days have reduced by 6% over the past two years."
  
  While agreeing that big customers sometimes exploit their indispensability to smaller suppliers, by overrunning their agreed payment dates, he argues that many SMEs could do more to tackle the problem themselves - especially by getting accurate invoices in on time, complaining promptly if a deadline is missed, and making sure there is no service lapse that gives the client a reason to delay.

  "More than ever before, U.S. companies are seeing the value of improving their total working capital performance," explained Hackett-REL President Stephen Payne."Executives understand that this is an exceptional way to free up cash that can enhance shareholder returns or be dedicated to funding strategic initiatives such as new product development, penetrating emerging markets, paying down debt, or repurchasing shares.But even with the strides companies have made in the past few years, there's still a tremendous amount of money being left on the table here, especially with 43 industry sectors showing improvement while 35 worsened in 2005.These companies still have far to go.
  
  "Several trends played a role in helping U.S. companies generate the results they did in 2005," said Payne.

  Steve Payne, Americas leader for working capital management, at Ernst & Young, says: "The sharply contrasting results in working capital performance for the full year and last quarter in both the US and Europe, partly reflect the impact of the global downturn in the final quarter of 2008, further compounded by heightened volatility in currency and commodity prices around the world."
  
  In particular, inventory levels increased significantly in both the US and Europe (up by 10% and 4% respectively in the final quarter of 2008).
  
  "Inventories did not decrease at the same rate as the drop in demand since companies' supply chains were not responsive enough to keep pace," continues Payne.
  ...
  "Companies should pay more attention to working capital management when planning and executing their responses to a more challenging environment," says Payne.

  "This year's Cash Masters' study shows that most European companies are not taking advantage of the strong growth the way they might, and are not delivering the maximum free cash flow from their operations, making it harder to fund actions that could stimulate continued growth," said REL President Stephen Payne. "The time is right for companies to leverage their scale, take advantage of low cost sourcing for products. While they do this they must also improve supply chain efficiency, so they do not gain gross margin improvements but erode the benefits due to increased inventory driven by the longer lead-times associated to low cost sourcing."
  
  Payne also states, "Europe has enjoyed strong economic growth and this provides the confidence for companies to sail closer to the wind in terms of cash on the balance sheet.
