What means ”lead time”?

Any process has a lead time

• Servicing your car

• Building a house

• Grocery shopping

• Banking process

• Tax refund

Lead times for most of these services have been reduced over the last

couple of years


“A lead time is the latency (delay) between

the initiation and the final execution of a

process.”

This Presentation constitutes an

overview how Altair can help

Customers Reduce

this Latency


Benefits of ”lead time reduction”

„How long“ it takes you to provide your product or service to your

customers is key for your business to be successful. Reducing turnaround

times and reducing time consuming manual work is getting as important

as reaching quality and cost targets.
