Understanding Lead Time

Lead time is the total time it takes for a process to move from start to finish. In business operations, understanding lead time helps in:

  • Improving production efficiency
  • Enhancing customer satisfaction through faster delivery
  • Effective inventory management
  • Better planning and resource allocation

Example

If a product requires:

  • Processing time: 3 days
  • Inspection time: 1 day
  • Delivery time: 2 days

The total lead time would be 3 + 1 + 2 = 6 days. This means it takes 6 days from when a request is made until the product is delivered to the customer.
