MAKE A FLOWCHART FROM THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION (LOCATED IN THE ORDERING PROCESSING SECTION) NINTENDO'S PROCESS FROM BEGINNING STAGES TO THE END CONSUMER. IT SHOULD LOOK LIKE THE EXAMPLE FLOWCHART FROM ABOVE.

The sample data represents one typical week's worth of business starting Monday, November 30 ending Friday, December 4. These orders are preparing retailers for the holiday season and anticipated jump in demand for Nintendo products. Each unit (case) of 32GB Switch console UPCs ordered have an average value of \$248; Each unit (case) of Switch Lite console UPCs ordered have an average value of \$145; Each unit (case) of game card UPCs ordered have an average value of $40. Customers place orders by communicating UPC codes and quantities via EDI (Electronic Data Interchange), e-mail, phone, and mail to the centralized order processing manager, a mail order associate, two online/EDI associates, two phone associates, an order entry clerk, a logistics and inventory specialist, a quality inspector, a customer records clerk, and a credit checker. Orders are processed on weekdays 8:20 AM- 5:20 PM. The five associates begin processing orders in the morning by partially filling in an online order form, which is forwarded to the order entry clerk, who enters the order online by completing the standard order form (7 minutes/order) and types shipping labels ( 3 minute/order). Then the Logistics \& Inventory Specialist determines if there is enough inventory on-hand to fill the order (5 minutes/order). If inventory is available, the Credit Checker then checks customer credit and validates if the customer holds proper required retail status (15 minutes/order). Retail status is necessary to purchase product at a wholesale price. The inventory specialist uses a Warehouse Management System (WMS) to coordinate order picks, packs, and preparations for shipping. Once inventory has been assigned to the order, the Customer Records Clerk enters the "new sales" in the customer file and updates the year-to-date (YTD) totals ( 2 minute/order). After inventory assignment, a copy of the order is sent to the distribution center (DC) where the inventory is picked and packed into a case ( 8 minutes/order). The quality inspector periodically samples production lots and picked orders, and evaluates returns before releasing replacement orders. The WMS communicates with the Transportation Management System (TMS) in the Customer Records Clerk enters the "new sales" in the customer file and updates the year-to-date (YTD) totals ( 2 minute/order). After inventory assignment, a copy of the order is sent to the distribution center (DC) where the inventory is picked and packed into a case ( 8 minutes/order). The quality inspector periodically samples production lots and picked orders, and evaluates returns before releasing replacement orders. The WMS communicates with the Transportation Management System (TMS) in the transportation department. Once the order is sent to the transportation department's TMS, they prepare the required documents for shipping (Manifest, Bills of Lading, etc.; 4 minutes/order). The TMS will coordinate shipments to the airport using Nintendo's leased airport shuttle fleet (their first and second trucks) and it will contract with JB Hunt, XPO, ODFL, or other logistics transportation providers for pick up from consolidation cities to delivery to customer locations. When the trucks arrive to transport the products to the airport they are loaded ( 6 minutes/order).
