What is the primary financial disadvantage of overstocking an electrical service truck with parts?

Parts purchased for a service truck but not yet installed on a customer's job sit as inventory on the company's balance sheet, meaning they tie up cash until a technician actually uses them.

Match each truck stock management scenario with its primary financial or operational consequence.

An electrical contractor wants to free up limited working capital that is currently tied up in van inventory, but they want to do so without causing technicians to make unplanned trips to the supply house. Arrange the actions they should take to successfully optimize their truck stock.

An electrical contractor is analyzing their balance sheet and realizes a significant amount of working capital is tied up in vehicle inventory. To free up cash without forcing technicians to waste billable time on unplanned supply-house trips, the contractor must review usage trends and remove ____ items from their standard par-level lists.

A two-truck electrical contracting company has $8,000 worth of parts spread across both vehicles. After reviewing six months of usage data, the owner discovers that $3,200 of that inventory consists of specialty items (dedicated circuits, transfer-switch components) that were each used only once or twice in the entire period. The owner is considering four options to improve cash flow. Which option best balances freeing up working capital while minimizing the risk of lost billable time from unplanned supply-house runs?
