Turnaround Time

Time it takes to get a job done and deliver the output, once the job is submitted for processing. Turnaround may be as simple as unloading and reloading a delivery truck before sending it out again, or as complex as completing a merge/purge of several rented lists, getting a product into the buyer's hands once it is ordered, or receiving approval on a proof that has been submitted to the print buyer. In most cases, a short turnaround time is economically advantageous, making the most efficient use of time and materials.
