Types of Time To Market  

The primary goal of every company is to provide quality products for their customers in the shortest time possible. The major types of TTM are:

  • Speedy TTM- This is about pure speed, though it is not the best objective, many organizations use it. The company's goal is to deliver the product as quickly as possible.
  • Predictable schedules TTM- in this case, the products are schedules to meet customers needs at specific time, so they are produced and delivered based on schedule.
  • Flexible TTM- here, time to market changes because the goal is customers satisfaction. So, production time is flexible to suit the needs of the customers.
  • Minimized TTM- managers that want to minimize cost or labor use this type of TTM. This type of TTM cuts expenses and labor.
