Item I made can be produced without delay (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

immediate

'without delay' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'item i made can be' is the wordplay.
'can be' is an anagram indicator.
'item'+'i'+'made'='itemimade'
'itemimade' with letters rearranged gives 'IMMEDIATE'.

'produced' is the link.

(Other definitions for immediate that I've seen before include "Prompt,straightaway" , "Instant" , "on the spot" , "Instantaneous" , "Most urgent; current" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
