Those months in the production lead time must be absorbed each year, and without purchasing additional steel, there is no surge capability. |
In fact, freely exchanging data across the supply chain would reduce lead time, complexity, and costs on several fronts. |
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. |
Instructors actively recruit students who would benefit from the experience, allowing for lead time to raise the funds required for travel. |
The thing that used to kill me, when there were hot news events going on, especially campaigns, was the lead time. |
In our business the lead time is very long and unless we have timed it right and judged our market correctly, it is a costly failure. |
