Furthermore the reduced working capital forces efficiency of invested capital, releases cash from balance sheets and improves balance-sheet-structures. For that reason the direction of Sappi Fine Paper Europe set a working capital goal for each subsidiary which it is obliged to follow. The ratio must be not more than 12.5 % of annual turnover. However, to achieve the goal an active working capital management is required. Therefore an organisation to control should be drawn up and controlling measures to improve the figure must be defined and carried out. Setting up an organisation for the working capital management is the precondition to control working capital effectively and sustainably. Firstly, it is essential to define who is responsible for the controlling process. The figure must be calculated, planned and improved. Therefore further key ratios must be defined and targets set.

These measures advance the effectiveness of the working capital key processes; the forecast-to-fulfill process, the order-to-cash process and the purchase-to-pay process. The result of the diploma thesis is a concept for Sappi Fine Paper Europe for the implementation of an active working capital management. The concept...
