Almost right,
if the customer wants to receive the goods on DateA, the supplier has to
buy raw materials on DateA - production delay - raw materials suppliers
delay - safety lead time.

So the date where the procurement will start must take care of all these
factors and return the BEST date to allow the supplier to keep all the
possible money in its pockets till the last day :)
