Order Fulfillment Process Template

Here is a template created with the help of EdrawMind, which depicts the various steps involved in the process of order fulfillment following their respective timelines. This breakdown of the whole process into several steps corresponding to the time required in the execution and fulfillment of each step enables business owners to make business strategies, find ways to optimize the system and keep track of the process at all steps. For example, if a person, with the help of this template, finds out that the number of days required for the delivery of a product is reduced by using a particular transportation channel, he can utilize the same channel for future deliveries. Using mind mapping and breaking down the process into smaller tasks, business owners can complete the process more efficiently and keep track of the order in small steps. EdrawMind gives you several options, tools, and templates to organize your data, brainstorm your ideas, and impressively present your thoughts.

Another process template shown below elaborates the order fulfillment process. The process starts with the receiving of the order. In case of confirmation, the order is subjected to further processing which involves picking the desired goods from inventory, packing it, and shipping it to the customer through a suitable transportation channel. However, if the order is not confirmed for some reason, it will be canceled without processing any further. The same steps will be repeated for each order. Creating a step-by-step flowchart like this can bring discipline and better management to your organization. This flowchart is one simple example of endless possibilities that you can create with EdrawMind.

Here is another comprehensive process template made by using EdrawMind that logically and comprehensively describes the various steps of the order fulfillment process. Order fulfillment begins upon receiving a fulfillment request and continues with backorder acknowledgment and order status updates. This process continues until settlement with different steps is involved. Please note that the shapes in this flow chart are different. Two distinct shapes are used: oval and rectangle. These various shapes essentially reflect distinct functions in the flowcharting process; the oval shape denotes the start and completion of a process, while the rectangle shape signifies a process. Another important and most commonly used shape is the "diamond" which represents the decision-making step.
