lead time

That would give enough lead time — more than a day — for power grid operators to protect transformers from power surges, and satellites and astronauts could move out of harm’s way if possible.

Some of the new chips, which have been in development for years, will be used in computers that on sale in the next few months, while others face a longer lead time.

Many were puzzled as to how this could happen, given the months of lead time to arrange distribution.

The issue of climate change presents one of the most difficult decision-making challenges a CEO might face—a case study in balancing uncertainty with costs to bring about changes that will require significant lead times.

VW described the potential supply disruption as “catastrophic,” and Ford warned that it could not easily replace a lost battery supplier, partly because of supply constraints and long development lead times.

So I said to FX that it was really important to get a lot of lead time, so that everyone could do what they needed to do.

All puppies are natural anarchists, but with most breeds, you have a few months of lead time.
