 For procurements of goods, companies may not have the ability to make decisions regard target units only, and the demand in target units may be uncertain. The delivery of goods procured takes time, and it may be uncertain. That is, the lead time of procurements may be uncertain. For goods instead of services, they are storable. So it's better for companies to receive the goods early when the lead time varies.
