This is a "best practices" type of question by a novice Project user.

I'm help a machine shop get started with project management using
standalone Project 2003. This question involves planning for ordering
parts and materials (e.g. aluminum) and the associated lead times and
delivery dates.

In some cases, a very long lead time for a part will have a "delivery
date" associated with it; e.g. we can't get that part until the first
week of the second quarter. I think this example would also help me in
the case where projects are already underway and material has already
been ordered but not yet delivered.

In other cases, I'd want to add a task that essentially means "we need
to order this by this date because it takes 3 weeks to get it".

I'm reading the Project Inside and Out book, but I'm not sure I have
the luxury of reading the whole thing before I need to show some real
progress in creating these project plans, so I'd appreciate any
guidance that I can experiment with in Project.

Thanks
