💡 What this means for your shop

With 8 vehicles past their target completion date, you have $25,600 in earned but uncollected revenue. Shorten your average cycle time by just one day and you would recover an additional $12,000 per month — and free up 8 bays for new vehicles today.

Formula: Locked revenue = overdue vehicles × avg RO value  |  Monthly gain from 1-day improvement = WIP vehicles × (RO value ÷ cycle time)
