Answer:

The answer is: A consistent three-day lead time

Explanation:

Lead time refers to the time lapse between the initiation of a production process and its finalization.

If your company is looking for a supplier, you should always choose the supplier with the most consistent lead time. Even if that supplier has a longer lead time, you can still program your production processes better.

Imagine if you need to buy supplies for a project due in one week and the supplier tells you "sure I'll deliver them to you in Monday, or maybe Tuesday, or Wednesday if the climate is not good, and if I'm a little lazy by Friday for sure". You need to know the exact date your supplies are being delivered, not just an approximate date, or a few possible days.
