Practical notes for buyers
Seasonality interacts with seasonal demand planning more than most forecasts allow for, so a rolling review beats an annual one.
Where two suppliers look identical on price, seasonal demand planning is usually the variable that separates them over a full year.

Commercial terms
Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.
Commercial terms are usually agreed in three parts: a deposit on confirmation, a balance before shipment and a stated validity window.
| Volume tier | Indicative unit level | Lead time |
|---|---|---|
| Carton (173 units) | Tier 1 | 30-45 days |
| Pallet (783 units) | Tier 2 | 7-12 days |
| Container (6743 units) | Tier 3 | 21-30 days |

Can packaging be adjusted for our market?
