Commercial terms
Freight terms should be named explicitly, because an unclear incoterm is the fastest way to lose a relationship.
Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.

| Carton (113 units) | Tier 1 | 14-21 days |
| Pallet (1695 units) | Tier 2 | 14-21 days |
| Container (7481 units) | Tier 3 | 30-45 days |
