Commercial terms
Currency movement over a ninety day cycle can outweigh the difference between two competing quotations.
Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.
| Volume tier | Indicative unit level | Lead time |
|---|---|---|
| Carton (73 units) | Tier 1 | 21-30 days |
| Pallet (2000 units) | Tier 2 | 30-45 days |
| Container (10474 units) | Tier 3 | 7-12 days |
