Order Management Hubs: 20 Steps to a Perfect Order

A Perfect Order still means many things to many people
Recent studies show that enterprises who deliver perfect orders have a direct correlation to positive customer satisfaction scores. Despite the stakes, success in consistently delivering a perfect order continues to elude many enterprises because existing systems lack the flexibility to move orders across the order management cycle.

Process views should trump functional fiefdoms
One source of confusion stems from the lack of clarity in what the components of a perfect order should entail. Confusion often stems from a functional perspective which may be predisposted from an ERP, CRM, eCommerce, or Supply chain heritage. Tossing out the three letter acronyms, order management hubs are about 4 key business processes:
  1. Opportunity to order capture - all the stuff to capture information for the order and send it on to the next step
  2. Order capture to order fulfillment - the guts and logistics of fulfilling an order from pick,pack, ship to TMS, WMS.
  3. Order fulfillment to order completion - the processes that may occur before an order is satisified such as returns, after market service, installation scheduling, and warranty claims.
  4. Order completion to order settlement - invoicing, AP/AR, financial stuff.

Moving from 10 steps to 20 steps towards a Perfect Order
The basic notion is a stakeholder gets an order and they have their expectations to have this filled every time, without question and with minimal effort. In previous discussions on Perfect Orders, 10 steps were identified. The definition has now been expanded to cover 20 key steps which include the delivery of an order:




1.
Through any channel at any time
2 .
Multiple types of stakeholders can
3 .
Engage in a consistent brand experience by
4 .
Selecting the right product or service with
5 .
The correct quantity and configuration that
6 .
Meets the acceptable levels of quality for
7 .
The stakeholder's entitled pricing policy
8 .
Supplied from the agreed upon sources
9 .
Delivered to or installed with the right customer within
10 .
An agreed upon period of time to
11 .
The correct locations in
12 .
The most appropriate packaging that
13 .
Includes the right documentation over
14 .
The right frequency with
15 .
An accurate invoice that can be
16 .
Collected and efficiently settled and/or
17 .
Returned via any channel for
18 .
Warranty claims against defects and/or
19 .
Scheduled for repair based on
20 .
Agreed upon service contracts


The bottom line for end users
Achieving a perfect order requires enterprises to revisit how existing order processes support multiple selling channels, multiple fulfillment scenarios, across functional areas. Ultimately, these business processes must be measured against metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs) such as:
  1. Availability to promise visibility
  2. Order status across all stages
  3. Picking error rate
  4. On-time delivery percentage
  5. Cases shipped vs. ordered ratios
  6. Type and percentage of unsellables
  7. Days of supply
  8. Order cycle time
  9. Shelf level service ratios
  10. Warehouse to store fill rate
  11. Order accuracy percentages
  12. Accurate and timely invoices percentages
  13. Percentage of data synchronization
  14. Stakeholder satisfaction
  15. Lifetime monetary value of stakeholder.

Bill’s table caught Charlie’s with a huge bang and knocked one of its legs off. There was a clatter from overhead, and they all looked up to see Percy’s head poking out of a window on the sec¬ond floor.
“Will you keep it down?!” he bellowed.
“Sorry, Perce,” said Bill, grinning. “How’re the cauldron bot¬toms coming on?”
“Very badly,” said Percy peevishly, and he slammed the window shut. Chuckling, Bill and Charlie directed the tables safely onto the grass, end to end, and then, with a flick of his wand, Bill reattached the table leg and conjured tablecloths from nowhere.
By seven o’clock, the two tables were groaning under dishes and dishes of Mrs. Weasley’s excellent cooking, and the nine Weasleys, Harry, and Hermione were settling themselves down to eat beneath a clear, deep-blue sky. To somebody who had been living on meals of increasingly stale cake all summer, this was paradise, and at first, Harry listened rather than talked as he helped himself to chicken and ham pie, boiled potatoes, and salad.
At the far end of the table, Percy was telling his father all about his report on cauldron bottoms.

The Burmese commander in the field Balamindin was ordered to give up Bhamo, and instead stay at the Burmese stockade at Kaungton, a few miles south of Bhamo on the Irrawaddy.[23] The Kaungton fort had been especially equipped with the cannon corps led by the French gunners (captured at the battle of Thanlyin in 1756.) To reinforce them, another army led by Maha Thiha Thura and posted at the easternmost Burmese garrison at Kenghung (present-day Jinghong, Yunnan), was ordered to march to the Bhamo theater across the northern Shan states.

In interviews, she related that when she was five years old and the steamer on which she and her family were immigrating passed the Statue of Liberty, she was fascinated by the statue, called her family over, and struck a pose in imitation.

The Norman conquest of England in the 11th century gave rise to heavy borrowings from Norman-French, and vocabulary and spelling conventions began to give the superficial appearance of a close relationship with Romance languages[15][16] to what had then become Middle English. The Great Vowel Shift that began in the south of England in the 15th century is one of the historical events that mark the emergence of Modern English from Middle English.charm bracelet charmsherbal vaporizer

If a village is the principal settlement of a civil parish, then any administrative body that administers it at parish level should be called a parish council or parish meeting, and not a town council or city council. However, some civil parishes have no functioning parish, town, or city council nor a functioning parish meeting.

The superstructure consisted of two decks, the Promenade Deck and Boat Deck, which were about 500 feet (150 m) long. They accommodated the officers' quarters, gymnasium, public rooms and first-class cabins, plus the bridge and wheelhouse. The ships' lifeboats were carried on the Boat Deck, the uppermost deck.[14] Standing above the decks were four funnels, though only three were functional – the last one was a dummy, installed for aesthetic purposes – and two masts, each 155 feet (47 m) high, which supported derricks for loading cargo.

At the end of the 17th century, sugar exports started to decline[39] but beginning in the 1690s, the discovery of gold by explorers in the region that would later be called Minas Gerais (General Mines) in current Mato Grosso and Goiás, saved the colony from imminent collapse.[40] From all over Brazil, as well as from Portugal, thousands of immigrants came to the mines.

This service was believed to be necessary to sustain the gods, so that they could in turn maintain the universe itself.[65] Thus, temples were central to Egyptian society, and vast resources were devoted to their upkeep, including both donations from the monarchy and large estates of their own. Pharaohs often expanded them as part of their obligation to honor the gods, so that many temples grew to enormous size.[66] However, not all gods had temples dedicated to them, as many gods who were important in official theology received only minimal worship
