Lead Time in Production Planning
In production planning, lead time is very important. Suppose, A product is made from material B and material C. Material B is made from material C. It means, if there will delay in the material C, there will be the delay in material B. So, there will be delay in the production of product A. Customer will not get delivery on the time. So, we fix the deadline for getting supply and production. Suppose, we have fixed the 30 days of delivery after customer places the purchase order. It means, we have to fix the date of buying and production of material B and C which we can easily calculate with lead time chart.

“Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And do not bring us to the time of trial, but rescue us from the evil one.”

“The society based on production is only productive, not creative.”

“Most literature on the culture of adolescence focuses on peer pressure as a negative force. Warnings about the “wrong crowd” read like tornado alerts in parent manuals. . . . It is a relative term that means different things in different places. In Fort Wayne, for example, the wrong crowd meant hanging out with liberal Democrats. In Connecticut, it meant kids who weren’t planning to get a Ph.D. from Yale.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
