title = "An approach for designing order size dependent lead time models for use in inventory and supply chain management",
abstract = "This paper addresses the issue of lead time behavior in supply chains. In supply chains without information sharing a supply chain member can only use the information they observe; orders/demand and their lead times. Using this information four different scenarios of lead time behavior are suggested and discussed. Based on this discussion an analytical approach is proposed that investigates the link between order quantities and lead times. This approach is then demonstrated on data from a company. In the particular case it is determined that there seems to be a link between order quantities and lead times, indicating that a complex lead time model may be necessary. It is also concluded that current state of supply chain management does not offer any methods to address this link between order quantities and lead times and that therefore further research is warranted.",
