imported new machines, improved quality and shortened lead time

As the old saying goes, [time is money," and that`s never truer than when it comes to talking about manufacturing lead-times.

Customers expect to purchase and receive products in a timely fashion, so understanding what lead-time is, how you can decrease it, and how it can impact the customer experience are all insights that can help you take your business to the next level.

Today, we`ll talk about how to better understand lead-time so you can use it as another tool to better manage your inventory.

What is Manufacturing Lead-time?

One of the most common questions, whenever this topic comes up, is simply, [What is lead-time?"

We can define lead-time as the amount of time it takes you to receive stock or materials from your supplier. It can also cover the amount of time from when a customer places an order for a product you sell until they actually receive it.

And beyond that, lead-time actually breaks down into different categories (which we`ll be discussing later in this article), including manufacturing lead-time.

Manufacturing lead-time is best described as the time it takes to create a product and deliver it to the consumer. As mentioned earlier, this can involve how long it takes to get the materials and products from other suppliers if you aren`t making your offering entirely in-house.

It may feel like manufacturing lead-time is something beyond your control if you`re relying on outsourced products or materials. However, even if you can`t make your supply chain work faster to suit your needs, you can actually control how lead-times affect your business once you have an understanding of how long it will take on average to complete the manufacturing process.
