What's the difference between lead time and delivery time?

First, the specific meaning is different.

1, lead time means "lead time"

The abbreviation of L/T refers to the "lead time"-the time from placing an order to delivery by the supplier, which can also be understood as "production cycle" or "development cycle". LT is usually calculated in days or hours, for example, lead time: 60 calendar days/delivery date: 60 calendar days.

2. Delivery time refers to "delivery time"

The abbreviation of D/T refers to "delivery time" or "delivery time" or "delivery time"-the time of delivery to the designated place, which generally refers to the delivery date, not equal to the shipment date, but a time point, such as: delivery time: 2015-11-20. Delivery means transmission, delivery and delivery.

"Delivery time" emphasizes delivery. In fact, DeliveryTime can also be understood as delivery and delivery time-it is simply delivery or delivery, and does not emphasize delivery (transfer of goods ownership and risk).

Second, the use of different objects.

From the buyer's point of view, lead time is usually used, while from the seller's point of view, delivery time is usually used.

For example, sellers often say: delivery time: 60 days or delivery time: 201April 30th. (In general, the lead time is April 30, 2065438 +06. This means that if you place an order now, you can deliver it in 60 days.

Lead time is usually the general time for the buyer to consider the performance of the order, which is usually fixed, and the buyer considers the performance cycle of the order. Delivery time is considered from the seller's point of view. In a series of processes such as actual material preparation, production and inspection, various changes will occur in the production plan, and unexpected delays may occur in delivery.

Therefore, the delivery time is often shortened or extended.

Third, the time used (order progress) is different.

Delivery time is usually used to consider one of the terms of trade before the transaction is completed. Time is a fixed period of time, indicating the time from placing an order to delivery. The delivery cycle is calculated according to the risk and the time of goods transfer stipulated in the trade terms signed in the contract, which is strictly calculated, but the actual operation often includes the time in transit.

However, the delivery time is usually biased towards a certain point after the order is reached, and changes according to the actual situation, and delivery and delivery can be made on a certain day. Strictly speaking, the delivery time refers to the specific date of shipment.
