Dear Arsal..

Your question does not carry enough information to deliver the proper answer.
Current ration isnt a thing only related to all current assets and all current liabilities. Changing the current assets and more specifically some particular ones, will be a case-specific matter. There are many other factors that carry more importance than mere current ratio when we measure the liquidity of any company.
Normally a current ratio of 1.2 - 1.9 is considered reasonable. But you should also know the company's cash conversion cycle, quick ratio and the related financing factors to present a solid liquidity position.

You have asked about the reduction of current assets. A general solution may be to reduce the slow moving items to a level having 1.3 - 1.6 of the current ratio without impairing the quick ratio )
remember ...you have to consider all factors when changing a particular one so that you may not have any problems in other areas )
but if you can provide some details, it would be easier to provide you with a more suitable answer )
