Q.5 Order Fulfillment is begins when a customer place an order, ends when
order (goods) are delivered, and includes everything in between.
Typically, the order fulfillment process involves many steps performed by
many people in different departments. First, someone in customer service
receives the order, logs it in, and checks it for completeness and accuracy.
Then the order goes to finance, where someone else runs a credit check on
the customer. Next, someone in the sales operation determiners the price
to charge. Then the border travel to inventory control, where someone
ch3ecks to see if the goods are on hand. If Not, the order gets routed to
Production planning, which issues a back order.
Eventually, a warehouse operation develops a shipment schedule. Traffic
determines the shipping method such as rail, road, air, or water, and picks
the route and carrier. Products handling picks the products from the
warehouse, verifies the accuracy of the order, assembles the pickings, and
loads them. Finally, traffic releases the goods to the carrier, which takes
responsibility to delivering them to the customer.

Common complaints that most companies received are: first, once an
order enters the process, no one can tell the customer where the order is
and when it will arrive. Second, errors are inevitable with so many people
having to handle and act separately on the same order. Third, every person
involved in it, did his/her job performed in allotted time. Finally, the
process can?t be made flexible enough to deal with special requests or to
respond to inquiries.
Questions:
1. Is this is a Process? Why?
2. What are the roots causes of the problems?
3. How to resolve the problem?
