Factors that May Increase Lead Times

There will be occasions when lead times will be stretched out farther than typical times. This factor often occurs when the part is very complex. A complex part forces a manufacturer to take extra time to design and develop the required tooling.

Another instance when a part’s lead time may be long is when it is a brand-new part for the customer. Validations and testing could add several more days to several more weeks to the schedule.
