In-depth Use Case / Real-world Example

A company manufacturing electrical transformers calculates Supplier Lead Time by analyzing how long it takes suppliers to deliver raw materials. For example, if the average lead time from a supplier is 10 days but fluctuates between 5 and 20 days, it indicates variability that can affect production schedules. Analyzing this helps identify suppliers with reliable lead times and improves supply chain stability.
