Figure 1
A diagram representing the theoretical framework of lead-time management and its impact on supply chain performance. The diagram is divided into two main sections. On the left, there is a box labeled ‘Lead-time management' which contains two sub-boxes: ‘Order-to-delivery cycle' and ‘Cash-to-cash cycle'. Arrows extend from each of these sub-boxes to the right side of the diagram. On the right, there is a larger box labeled ‘Supply chain performance' which lists three bullet points: ‘Supply chain reliability', ‘Supply chain flexibility', and ‘Complete order fulfillment'. The arrows indicate that both the ‘Order-to-delivery cycle' and ‘Cash-to-cash cycle' influence the ‘Supply chain performance'.Theoretical framework. Source: Compiled by authors
