Partially. Capacity can be bought: overtime and line prioritisation cut 20-30% off standard lead times at a price, typically 10-20%. What cannot be rushed: plating chemistry cycles and enamel curing, which are process-bound. Ask which steps are compressible before paying; the answer reveals whether the supplier knows its own line.
Rarely. Lead time usually starts at pre-production sample approval or at deposit, whichever is later, and custom tooling adds 10-20 days before that. Always ask the start point explicitly and put it on the proforma. Most lead-time disputes are calendar definitions, not factory speed.
