San Diego Distribution Center (DC) Process - Draw a process map of the following scenario:
Dealer emails an order to the DC which is automatically printed on the copier. One out of 25 orders are lost because the copier jams or an employee accidentally throws it away.
Printed order sits in an inbox around 2 hours (0 to 4) until internal mail picks it up.
Internal mail takes about one hour on average to deliver the order to the picking area. One out of 100 orders are delivered to the wrong place.
Order sits in clerks inbox until it is processed for 0 to 2 hours (average 1 hour). Processing time takes 5 minutes.
If item is in stock, worker picks and packs order (Average =20 minutes, with range from 10 to 45 minutes).
Inspector takes 2 minutes to check order. Still, one out of 200 orders are completed incorrectly.
Transport firm delivers order with average delivery time of 1 to 3 hours (average 2 hours).
If the item is out of stock, the clerk notifies the dealer and passes the order along to the plant while arranging a special shipment directly to the dealer, usually within a week.
Average Time between Ordering and Delivery for an in-stock item is 6.4 hours (387 minutes). Can be as long as 11.3 hours (682 minutes). If an item is not in stock, it will take even longer.
Of the 6.4 hours an order spends on average in the process, a full 3 hours is waiting time.
5 percent of the orders are lost before they even get to the picking area. For the orders that do survive to this point, 1 out of 200 will be shipped with the incorrect items or quantities.
