The lead time describes the time it takes for work items to pass through the individual work centres. The lead time is the difference between the production date and the delivery date.
The lead time is the time it takes to produce an item or - in the case of purchasing - to obtain it from the supplier. It begins with the start of a production process or an order and ends when the product is completed or delivered.
In the production planning the lead time is used to calculate the start time of a production order. The entire lead time must lie between the start date and the due date. The start date is included, but the due date is not.
In the Material Requirements Planning (MRP) the lead time is used to determine the order date. The lead time in days is subtracted from the desired delivery date or the requirement date to determine the earliest possible start. Weekends are not included in this calculation.
resources such as machine or labour times are also included in the throughput time, as they influence the production time. These times are stored in the bill of materials and are used to monitor the availability and utilisation of capacities.
Waiting days are planned periods during which the production process is interrupted, for example for drying or curing phases. They are added to the throughput time and enable a realistic calculation of the production time.
The precise determination of lead times is crucial for production control and scheduling in order to optimise the use of resources and meet delivery deadlines.
