      <Paragraph>In LN, the
		lead time is the time to produce an item, from the production start date till
		the delivery date. Lead times are used for production planning purposes in <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp" role="package">Enterprise Planning</GUIRef> and <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti" role="package">Manufacturing</GUIRef>.</Paragraph>

      <SectionTitle>Operation lead time</SectionTitle>
      <Paragraph>In <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti" role="package">Manufacturing</GUIRef>, you can define lead time elements for
		every routing operation. LN uses the lead time elements to calculate the
		operation lead time.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>LN defaults the <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#000351" role="glossary">queue time</Link>, <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#000352" role="glossary">wait time</Link>, and <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#100102" role="glossary">move time</Link> in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/rou/tirou1102m000" role="session">Routing Operations (tirou1102m000)</GUIRef> session from the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/rou/tirou0101m000" role="session">Work Centers (tirou0101m000)</GUIRef> session. You can change the defaulted values in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/rou/tirou1102m000" role="session">Routing Operations (tirou1102m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>

      <SectionTitle>Production order lead time</SectionTitle>
      <Paragraph>LN calculates production-order lead times by adding up all operation lead times.
		If operation overlap takes place because <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#000360" role="glossary">transfer batch quantities</Link> are defined, LN uses more complex
		calculations to determine lead times and production order planning. For more
		information, refer to <Link href="/baanerp/ti/onlinemanual/000314" role="manual">Production order lead-times (transfer batch quantity)</Link>.</Paragraph>
   </GeneralSection>
   <Note>
      <SectionTitle>Note</SectionTitle>
      <Paragraph>In previous versions of LN, if the work center
		was a sub-work center that had a main work center, and the next operation was
		carried out on a different work center, LN added the <Emphasis>wait time</Emphasis> of the main work center to the wait time of the
		sub-work center. In addition, if the operation was carried out on a different
		work center then the previous operation, or when it was the first operation, LN added the <Emphasis>queue time</Emphasis> of that main work center to the queue time of
		the sub work center.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>In the current version of LN, this functionality
		has been removed. Now, LN only uses main work centers for aggregation of capacity data in <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp" role="package">Enterprise Planning</GUIRef>, and LN no longer adds up
		queue times and wait times from main work centers and sub-work centers.</Paragraph>
