productividad del capital de trabajo (PKT)

español al inglés Negocios/Finanzas Negocios / Comercio (general)
"Diseñar la estructura financiera basada en generación de EBITDA y productividad del capital de trabajo (PKT) para garantizar el crecimiento sostenible de la compañía."

From a business plan. I understand "productividad del capital" and "productividad de trabajo" but I'm not totally clear on the combination here, and having the acronym PKT hasn't proven useful in searches.

That's what I was guessing But I was absolutely baffled by the 'K' in the middle!
Robert Carter Oct 27, 2016:
PKT After having checked a few references containing this abbreviation, the K in PKT for some reason appears to refer to "capital". (A nod to the German "Kapital" perhaps?)

In the reference below, the abbreviation KTNO also appears, which is defined as Capital de Trabajo Neto Operativo:

El concepto de Capital de Trabajo Neto Operativo nos permite definir otro importante inductor de valor operativo: La Productividad del Capital de Trabajo – PKT.
PRODUCTIVIDAD DEL CAPITAL DE TRABAJO
PKT = KTNO / Ventas

NB: If you want a definition of the acronym PKT, you should post that as a separate query. Right now, I have no idea what it stands for, and would ask the person who used it, if possible.

NB: Phil's suggestion of "return on working capital" (retorno) above sounds better to me than "productivity" in English in this financial context.

neutral philgoddard : It stands for productividad del capital de trabajo. I'm guessing they've used PKT because PCT means something else.
