1 Assess your current situation

Before you can prioritize order fulfillment, you need to have a clear understanding of your current order fulfillment performance. You need to measure and monitor key metrics, such as order cycle time, order accuracy, order fill rate, order status visibility, and customer feedback. These metrics will help you identify your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats in your order fulfillment process. You can also benchmark your performance against industry standards and best practices to see how you compare with your competitors and peers.

Order fulfillment process should align to distribution strategy of the organization. Order fulfillment performance of an organization can be reviewed at various stages as: - Customer PO to PO acceptance - PO acceptance to shipment start - Shipment start to customer POD Different product categories could have different cycle time, fill rate and accuracy levels. Benchmarking at the product category levels could give us target state.

When it comes to the process of fulfilling customer orders, the one thing we always think is, "How fast can we give the customer what they want". But in my experience, I find it's not how fast I move that product downstream, but how efficiently I collate those customers downstream. The more I effectively customers can be collated, the more efficient the logistics; after all...customers are not a destination, they are the vehicle for each trip.

Assess your current situation, there is a need to monitor key metrics. In my situation, importing goods from overseas had a production minimum. Then the production time, the ex-factory date and time on the seas, to the customers warehouse. Planning accordingly to meet the customers desired delivery date.

2 Identify your priorities and criteria

Once you have a clear picture of your current situation, you need to determine your priorities and criteria for order fulfillment. You need to consider your business goals, customer expectations, resource availability, and operational constraints. For example, you may want to prioritize orders based on their urgency, value, complexity, or channel. You may also want to set criteria for order fulfillment quality, such as accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. You need to align your priorities and criteria with your order fulfillment strategy and communicate them clearly to your team and stakeholders.

3 Implement a prioritization system

After you have defined your priorities and criteria, you need to implement a system that can help you prioritize order fulfillment effectively and efficiently. You need to use tools and techniques that can help you automate, optimize, and streamline your order fulfillment process. For example, you can use an order management system (OMS) that can integrate your inventory, sales, and delivery data and provide real-time visibility and control over your orders. You can also use a warehouse management system (WMS) that can assign tasks, track movements, and optimize space and labor in your warehouse. You can also use a transportation management system (TMS) that can plan, execute, and monitor your delivery routes and schedules.

4 Review and improve your process

Finally, you need to review and improve your order fulfillment process regularly. You need to collect and analyze data and feedback from your order fulfillment activities and evaluate your performance against your priorities and criteria. You need to identify and address any gaps, issues, or inefficiencies in your order fulfillment process and implement corrective and preventive actions. You also need to seek and adopt new ways to enhance your order fulfillment capabilities and customer service. You need to keep up with the changing market demands and customer preferences and adjust your order fulfillment process accordingly.

Continuous improvement is a key, and it's crucial that we conduct a comprehensive review of KPIs. This review should take into considerations of customer feedback and update predefined rules in ERP system to automate order prioritization. It is essential that we align our choice of KPIs with our business goals and customer expectations. From my perspective, the key KPIs to consider are the on-time in full (OTIF) delivery rate, the order fulfillment cycle time (which will validate our agility), and the perfect order rate (which directly relates to quality).
