Ivan: Yes, that is right. It has been easier to track goods nowadays, but it is still a risk factor involved.

Ivan: Delivery time is another word for lead-time. The time it takes for placing the order, until you have it in your warehouse. If you have a long lead-time, it is a bigger risk for things that could go wrong, and you will not have the goods in time. Theoretically it should be no difference if you have a lead-time for say 4 weeks within the same region (e.g. European Union), compared to 4 months from Asia to North America with production time and shipping, container handling, and the delivering by truck. But physiologically it could get tricky with a long planning time, from start to finish.
