2.5 Lead Time Management

2.5 Lead Time Management

  • The 3 Lead Times:
    • Manufacturing LT: How long the supplier takes to make it.
    • Transit LT: Time from their dock to our dock.
    • Inspection LT: Time from our dock to the shelf (often ignored, causing delays).
  • The "Unconfirm" Risk: Protocols for when a supplier de-commits a date. The escalation path to prevent line-down.
