Those months in the production lead time must be absorbed each year, and without purchasing additional steel, there is no surge capability. |
If the boards are sourced in Asia the lead time can rise to as much as 10 days. |
We are expecting a large contract to begin soon which involves the supply of expensive equipment with a lead time of about six months. |
They are products with a long lead time so, if you pick a poor scheme, it could be many years before the full damage becomes apparent. |
Finally, as always, the more lead time the better the content and the lower the price. |
The thing that used to kill me, when there were hot news events going on, especially campaigns, was the lead time. |
