It's an excellent device, but it has a 10-week lead time, so be sure to order it in advance.
The time between the initial stage of a project or policy and the appearance of results: "A long lead-time in oil production because of the need for new exploration and drilling."
Period of time required to prepare for a certain stage of a project For example, the lead time in introducing a new product is the time it takes for research, development, market research, and factory preparation
The amount of time between the request of a service and the actual provision of this service A span of time required to perform an activity In a logistics context, the time between the initiation of a process and its completion
Lead time is the period of time that it takes for goods to be delivered after someone has ordered them. Lead times on new equipment orders can run as long as three years. the time that it takes to make or produce something
The total time a customer must wait to receive a product after placing an order When a scheduling and production system are running at or below capacity, lead time and throughput time are the same When demand exceeds capacity there will be additional waiting time before the start of scheduling and production
Time required to manufacture a product from order placement until availability It includes planning, engineering, tool design and construction, acquisition of materials, scheduling, fabrication, finishing and packaging
The time which elapses between initiating a process and its completion For example, purchasing lead time refers to the period between initiating the purchasing process by issuing a purchase requisition document and the arrival of the ordered goods in the warehouse Similarly, production lead time refers to the period between starting the production process (by issuing a production order) and the arrival of products in the finished goods inventory Delivery lead time is the time between starting the delivery process (by, for example, issuing a picking list) and the arrival of the goods at the customer's venues In contrast, order fulfillment lead time refers to the period between receiving an order and the arrival of goods at the customer's venues Synonymous: cycle time

(Ticaret) The total amount of time between the recognition of a required task, operation or process and its completion. Elements of lead time can include order entry, material accumulation, machine setup, queue, processing, move and other activities, which can be classified by systems that seek to eliminate waste as valued-added (processing that actively adds value as perceived by the customer) and non value-added
