The Warehouse Turnover Rate quantifies how efficiently a facility cycles through its stock: it measures how many times inventory is fully replenished and moved out within a set period, typically one year. The figure is calculated by dividing the cost of goods sold—or total units dispatched—by the average inventory level held during that period. High turnover signals fast-moving, capital-efficient stock; low turnover points to slow-moving SKUs, over-purchasing, or weakening demand. Logistics managers and buyers use the metric to fine-tune reorder cycles and control warehousing costs. For perishable, seasonal, or space-constrained goods, close monitoring is critical. Note the distinction from days of supply, which is the inverse figure and expresses how many days current stock will last.
