The lead time shows the amount of elapsed time from a chunk of work or story entering the backlog, to the end of the iteration or release. [13] A smaller lead time means that the process is more effective and the project team is more productive. [13] Lead time is also the saved time by starting an activity before its predecessor is completed.
Little's law is widely used in manufacturing to predict lead time based on the production rate and the amount of work-in-process. [15] Software-performance testers have used Little's law to ensure that the observed performance results are not due to bottlenecks imposed by the testing apparatus. [16] [17]
Lean CFP (Complex Flow Production) Driven is a new approach which takes into account not only the widely implemented Lean manufacturing, but combines the principles of Lean with the Operating Curve, an approach based on the theoretical approach of queuing theory developed in academia in the 1970s.

Delivery lead time is the blue bar, manufacturing time is the whole bar, the green bar is the difference between the two. Order fulfilment (in American English: order fulfillment) is in the most general sense the complete process from point of sales enquiry to delivery of a product to the customer.
A master production schedule (MPS) is a plan for individual commodities to be produced in each time period such as production, staffing, inventory, etc. [1] It is usually linked to manufacturing where the plan indicates when and how much of each product will be demanded. [2]
A supply chain responsiveness matrix is a tool that is used to analyze inventory and lead time within an organization. The matrix is one of a number of value stream mapping tools. [1] The matrix is represented by showing lead time along the x-axis and inventory along the y-axis. The result shows where slow moving stock resides.
However, even if a WIP constraint is implemented, Push-strategy generally means that the time, needed from the first operation or assembly until the finished good is obtained, is much longer as opposed to pull-strategy. This is due to the lead-times needed for each assembly and can be analyzed by using a technique called Value stream mapping ...
That does not invalidate the formula, but it influences the parameters to be input into the formula in each time period. Lead time is extremely hard to quantify in complex manufacturing and/or purchase environment, which has become the norm in global supply chains that span many independent partners. In practice, lead time is estimated by a ...
