Right, production lead times can be reduced by moving work stations closer together, reducing queue length, like for example, reducing the num- ber of jobs waiting to be processed at a given ma- chine, and improving the coordination and coop- eration between successive processes. Delivery lead times can be reduced through close cooper- ation with suppliers, possibly by inducing suppli- ers to locate closer to the factory or working with a faster shipping company. C: I see… That makes sense.
