Working capital represents short-term assets available to a business for meeting financial obligations such as payroll, creditors and suppliers. A company with insufficient working capital can have liquidity problems even when their asset position and profitability is healthy. Manufacturing companies are subject to working capital challenges because supplier and production expenses frequently require payment several months before goods are sold to customers.
Working capital is near the top of the list among business challenges currently faced by manufacturing companies. The only issue ranked as a more serious concern — escalating costs — is also directly related to working capital and cash flow. One accounting description of working capital is expressed as a financial formula in which net working capital equals current assets minus current liabilities. When this calculation produces a negative number, a business has negative working capital and should be alert for near-term cash flow problems. Working capital management by manufacturers and other businesses is designed to anticipate and resolve such difficulties before they cause normal payments to be delayed. Manufacturing financial managers have several potential strategies to review for cash flow improvement. Two of these are lean manufacturing and asset financing. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of working capital management on liquidity, profitability and overall management of the manufacturing companies

1.1BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
It is surprising that most of the companies go bankrupt and collapse not because they are not profitable but because their inability to meet their mature obligations. This is usually due to the inefficient management of their working capital, particularly in manufacturing companies. Therefore, the survival of a company depends largely on the availability of adequate working capital as well as the proper management of each of its component to have optimality.
Working Capital management involves the relationship between a firms short term assets and its short term liabilities. The basic goal of the working capital is to ensure that a firm is able to continue its operation and has sufficient ability to satisfy both maturing short term debts and upcoming operational expenses. This is done so as to avoid two ugly situations of our capitalization and under capitalization.
Over capitalization according to olowe (2007) is an inefficient working capital management that results in excessive stocks, debtors and cash with very few creditors. The implication of this is that, it impairs te firm’s profitability as idle investment earns nothing. The idle investment could have been invested in other profitable investment like marketable securities.
Under capitalization on the other hand occurs if a firm is trying to support large volume of production with little long term capital at its disposal.
The implication is that it can threaten the solvency of a firm because of its inability to meet its current and manufacturing obligation.
Thus the ultimate aim of management of working capital is to maintain an optimum level of working . in maintaining an optimum level of working capital the company must avoid our capitalization and under capitalization.
