The most common mistake is optimising for the first order instead of the fourth, which is where Nex economics actually settle.
Why inventory replenishment matters on the Nex
Reorder points should reflect lead time plus safety stock, not intuition.
Keeping a short internal note on inventory replenishment for each SKU pays for itself the first time a dispute arises over the Nex.

Commercial terms
Currency movement over a ninety day cycle can outweigh the difference between two competing quotations.
Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.
| Volume tier | Indicative unit level | Lead time |
|---|---|---|
| Carton (116 units) | Tier 1 | 14-21 days |
| Pallet (1679 units) | Tier 2 | 7-12 days |
| Container (6592 units) | Tier 3 | 14-21 days |
