In this research Cash Conversion Cycle was used to examine working capital management in the supply chain of the automotive industry during 2006–2016. The results of this study reveal patterns and trends in working capital developments over time, which can be used for further managerial analyses and strategy planning as for the single company and for the supply chain level. There was no substantial change in the overall cycle time for the whole industry, but rather the changes happened among the supply chain representatives. During the economic downturn bigger companies took over the credit risk and capital costs, by extending their days sales outstanding. Overall trends show strong regional differences in the levels of Cash Conversion Cycle and its elements.
