Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.
Agreeing a defect handling procedure before the first shipment removes emotion from later conversations.

| Pallet (1929 units) | Tier 2 | 21-30 days |

Frequently asked questions
Which channel suits Zen S best?
Specialist retail for range depth, convenience for volume of core SKUs, online for long tail flavours.
Do you support long term supply agreements?
Yes, rolling agreements with defined review points work better for both sides than rigid annual commitments.
What happens if a batch fails inspection?
The agreed procedure normally covers replacement of affected units or credit against the next order, documented before shipment.
Can packaging be adjusted for our market?
Artwork localisation is straightforward; structural changes need larger volumes and a longer lead time.

None of this is complicated, but it does need to be written down and reviewed on a schedule.
