MOQ, lead time, and price breaks explained
MOQ, lead time, and price breaks shape cash flow. Understanding them prevents ‘surprise’ production schedules.
MOQ reality
Factory MOQs may be per colour/CCT/size—not only per model family.
Ask how mixed sizes affect MOQ.
Lead time
Distinguish production time vs consolidation vs ocean transit.
Peak seasons slip—build buffers.
Breaks
Price breaks should be written with validity dates.
