Inventory Levels are the numbers of items you have in stock.

Inventory Turnover is the ratio of how many times you sell the items in your inventory. This can be calculated for each part/product or for your total inventory.

Inventory Cycle Time is how much time it takes to fulfill a customer's order. This can include manufacturing time, shipping time, and other criteria.
