Commercial terms
Commercial terms are usually agreed in three parts: a deposit on confirmation, a balance before shipment and a stated validity window.
Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.

|---|---|---|
| Carton (197 units) | Tier 1 | 30-45 days |
| Pallet (1940 units) | Tier 2 | 30-45 days |
| Container (7465 units) | Tier 3 | 7-12 days |
