Sales delay is the elapsed time between the manufacture of a product and its sale. According an article it is quite common for investigators to model sales delay using a lognormal distribution. For a particular product, the
cited article proposes this distribution with parameter values μ = 2.08 and ² = 0.03 (here the unit for delay is months).
