KudoZ question not available

English translation: turnover

Dutch to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Transport / Transportation / Shipping
Dutch term or phrase: omloop
This sentence in an annex to a logistics contract does not make sense to me:

de minimale *omloop* van een artikel per jaar dient gelijk te zijn aan de minimale productie bestelhoeveelheid

As far as I understand it, omloop (turnaround) is measured in days. How can the number of days be required to be equal to the quantity of products ordered? Can anyone explain?

agree  DebbieKleynhans: Turn rate (Stock turnover rate) A measure of how quickly your inventory sells. For example, a turn rate of 6 would indicate that you sell your merchandise quickly enough to replace it six times per year. As per retail dictionary. http://www.retailsystems
