Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.

Volume commitments work best when they are structured as a rolling target rather than a single fixed number.

Frequently asked questions

Is freight insurance worth it for Passage 3 orders?

Can several models be mixed in one shipment?

Yes, mixing models and flavours within a carton or pallet is common and usually helps first time buyers test demand.

Do you support long term supply agreements?

None of this is complicated, but it does need to be written down and reviewed on a schedule.
