Lead time

If the lead time exceeds the days of stock — OOS is almost inevitable.

Formula

Lead time = procurement/manufacturing + delivery + acceptance

Lead time — from the decision to "order" to the moment when the product is actually available for sale.

Details

Lead time often "varies." It should be accounted for with a buffer; otherwise, you will be putting out fires instead of planning.
