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.

|---|---|---|
| Carton (141 units) | Tier 1 | 14-21 days |
| Pallet (1083 units) | Tier 2 | 30-45 days |
| Container (8926 units) | Tier 3 | 14-21 days |
