Lead Time


O'PEEP'S LEAD TIME EXPLANATION 

You are sitting in a pub and ordering a burger? Lead time is the time from ordering your burger to receiving it. You are the customer, so you do not really care if the waiter is just picking it up ready-made in the kitchen or whether he has to go and buy tomatoes. You only care about the time you have to wait!

Lead Time is the time customers experience. 

Lead Time (sometimes known as Order Lead Time) is the total elapsed time from order entry to customer delivery. Lead Time does not care about the underlying processes!
