Commercial terms
Freight terms should be named explicitly, because an unclear incoterm is the fastest way to lose a relationship.
Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.
| Volume tier | Indicative unit level | Lead time |
|---|---|---|
| Carton (163 units) | Tier 1 | 21-30 days |
| Pallet (1646 units) | Tier 2 | 7-12 days |
| Container (14034 units) | Tier 3 | 30-45 days |
