Commercial terms
Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.
Agreeing a defect handling procedure before the first shipment removes emotion from later conversations.
| Volume tier | Indicative unit level | Lead time |
|---|---|---|
| Carton (181 units) | Tier 1 | 30-45 days |
| Pallet (1425 units) | Tier 2 | 7-12 days |
| Container (5351 units) | Tier 3 | 30-45 days |
