Checklist

• Log sell through by account for the first eight weeks.
• Review the reorder point after one full selling cycle.
• Check carton quantities against the commercial invoice line by line.
• Keep certificates current and filed against the exact model name.
• Retain one sealed sample carton from every batch for reference.
• Record the arrival condition with photographs on the day of delivery.

Commercial terms

Freight terms should be named explicitly, because an unclear incoterm is the fastest way to lose a relationship.

Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.

How quickly can a repeat order be produced?

For established configurations production typically runs two to four weeks, with transit on top depending on the chosen method.
