Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.

| Pallet (1517 units) | Tier 2 | 14-21 days |

Frequently asked questions
How should a Stark 2 carton be configured?
Match inner tray quantity to roughly a week of counter sales, then set master carton and pallet counts around it.
Can packaging be adjusted for our market?
Artwork localisation is straightforward; structural changes need larger volumes and a longer lead time.
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.
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.
Final word
A short quarterly review of these points will keep the Stark 2 range healthy without consuming the week.
