ABSTRACT:
In a method and apparatus for advising on a lead time for a customer configured computer system, selection input from a customer is received. In response to the selection input, a customer computer system is configured. Lead time for the configured computer system is advised by outputting an estimated ship date for delivery of the configured computer system to the customer. The estimated ship date is a function of lead times of selected options of the configured computer system. Lead time is further advised by outputting a customer selectable option for optimizing the delivery, accordingly, the ship date.
