Worked example
Order intake to invoice
48 hto12 h of team time a day, for 9 people, flagged orders included
- 360 customer orders a day arrive by email. 9 people (2 of them temporary staff) enter, check and invoice them, about 8 minutes each: 48 of the team's 72 hours a day. Calls and order changes fill the rest, so peaks bring overtime and orders wait up to 2 days.
- After: about 1 minute of review per order, 6 hours a day. About 1 order in 5 is flagged (stock, credit, price) and takes 5 minutes on average: 6 more hours.
