> - Chipmaker/Distributor quotes 36 weeks for the parts, we arrange all shipments of all components to the factory based on that date since that part had the longest lead time (~80 unique part numbers in product). 4 weeks later, parts arrive at factory!. We have to wait for all other components for another 32 weeks. Manufacturer does not understand why we're mad since they shipped early! Ah, so true! It shows nicely why predictable but longer lead times are better than potentially shorter ones that are totally chaotic. Being to properly plan is such a huge factor. |
