Explanation:
Leadtime: In manufacturing, the assumed elapsed time from the point of entry of a job into production to its completion and final emergence therefrom. It is normal to consider manufacturing leadtime as consisting of five separate elements : queue time (time spent in queues waiting to begin); set-up (time to set the machine up for the job); run (the time occupied by actual manufacture); wait (the time waiting after manufacture has been completed); and move (the time spent moving the job to its next destination).
