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.
| Volume tier | Indicative unit level | Lead time |
|---|---|---|
| Carton (91 units) | Tier 1 | 7-12 days |
| Pallet (1438 units) | Tier 2 | 14-21 days |
| Container (13179 units) | Tier 3 | 30-45 days |

What happens if a batch fails inspection?
The agreed procedure normally covers replacement of affected units or credit against the next order, documented before shipment.
Can packaging be adjusted for our market?
Artwork localisation is straightforward; structural changes need larger volumes and a longer lead time.
