Inference
From the table, we can conclude that Consumer Staples in US has a median value of 0.13 which means that it spends its assets more on its inventory
Consumer Staples is then followed by Materials which has a median value 0.11 and Indutrials/Information Technology which has median value of 0.1.
These are the industries which requires proper Inventory Management to reduce its cost incurred at overall process.
Inference
The condition seems almost similar in China when comapred to US.
The Consumer staples has a median value of 0.13 and Industrials has a median value of 0.12. These are the two industries which requires Inventory Mangement.
Other industries in China have their optimum value of Inventory/Total Asset ratio in the range of 0.01 to 0.02. Hence no intervention is needed for those industries.
