Commercial terms
Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.
Most long running accounts settle into a rhythm of monthly top ups with one larger seasonal build per year.

|---|---|---|
| Carton (139 units) | Tier 1 | 14-21 days |
| Pallet (1857 units) | Tier 2 | 7-12 days |
| Container (7198 units) | Tier 3 | 21-30 days |
