Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.
Currency movement over a ninety day cycle can outweigh the difference between two competing quotations.

Frequently asked questions
How much shelf space should Box 5 get?
Enough for a full flavour block; partial ranges confuse customers and slow rotation.
How quickly can a repeat order be produced?
For established configurations production typically runs two to four weeks, with transit on top depending on the chosen method.
Do you support long term supply agreements?
Yes, rolling agreements with defined review points work better for both sides than rigid annual commitments.

The agreed procedure normally covers replacement of affected units or credit against the next order, documented before shipment.
Final word
