ISMI member companies defined two master goals for the 300mm Prime initiative (see [2]): 50% Cycle Time Reduction and 30% Cost Reduction.

Though only a small share of WIP is priority lots, the benefit of short priority lot cycle time can be very persuading and the impact on overall costs very significant.
