MANAGING STRATEGIC LEAD TIMES

Abstract

Time is a business commodity which has an enormous opportunity cost. Yet normal business controls make no attempt to value or identify the scale or nature of this. In this paper Professor Martin Christopher and Alan Braithwaite introduce the concept of Strategic Lead Time Management as a means of measuring and valuing the time efficiency of business.
