Delivery Safety Time (DST)
Delivery Safety Time is the maximum arrival delay of an order accepted without impacting the production line. DST is mainly linked to a transportation route and a period of time. All parts delivered in the same truck have generally the same DST.
To define a DST, you need to take in account the following points:
- DST may be increased for specific parts if they have, for example, to be inspected by people available during a specific period of time;
- DST has a direct impact in your in-house inventory: using STT is sometimes more interresting if you do not have a lot of space;
- using a DST combined with a STT for the same transportation route is possible.
