Commercial terms
Payment history is the single most reliable route to better terms, more than total annual volume.
Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.

|---|---|---|
| Carton (185 units) | Tier 1 | 30-45 days |
| Pallet (1414 units) | Tier 2 | 30-45 days |
| Container (17597 units) | Tier 3 | 14-21 days |
