Commercial terms
Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.
Commercial terms are usually agreed in three parts: a deposit on confirmation, a balance before shipment and a stated validity window.
| Volume tier | Indicative unit level | Lead time |
|---|---|---|
| Carton (156 units) | Tier 1 | 30-45 days |
| Pallet (1065 units) | Tier 2 | 30-45 days |
| Container (10819 units) | Tier 3 | 7-12 days |
