Major Milestones

Base lead time will be 5 weeks from the time that finaldesigns are approved, assuming production can support that date. 5 weeks (+production capacity adder if necessary) will be given if there are nospecial-order items. If special order items are included, then the lead timewill be given once we receive a confirmed ship date from the vendor.
