Commercial terms
Agreeing a defect handling procedure before the first shipment removes emotion from later conversations.
Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.

| Carton (196 units) | Tier 1 | 14-21 days |
| Pallet (1884 units) | Tier 2 | 21-30 days |
| Container (12178 units) | Tier 3 | 30-45 days |
