The advance shift is a term used in business administration . In the case of the scheduled net requirements calculation (requirements planning), lead times are understood to mean the times for the procurement and manufacture of subordinate parts in order to be able to produce higher-level parts on time. This is to avoid bottlenecks. The lead shift is the time difference that results between the demand periods of the higher-level and lower-level parts.

In order to achieve an optimal lead time, subordinate product components must be present when the higher-level product starts working. The production or procurement of a subordinate part must therefore be ordered earlier by its order or lead time. This is necessary so that it is available to the higher-level product in good time.
