OPERATIONAL SYSTEMS - ORDER PROCESSING

Receipt of Orders:
We receive orders by several means - phone, fax, mail, Internet, and EDI. Orders that require manual entry by customer service are audited for accuracy before being released.

Operational Systems - Order ProcessingOrder Picking:
The order pulling areas are set up as teamwork stations. We have teams of four to five people working at each station. Each team is capable of shipping at least 200 complete orders per day. The orders are printed with each uniform garment set up in a pre-assigned picking sequence. This enables our pullers to achieve significant efficiency.

Inspection:
Once orders are pulled, they are inspected for accuracy by our final assembly inspector. We are shipping orders with a 99.7% accuracy rating.

Turn Around Time:
Non-stock items are ordered from the manufacturer, and stock garments are assembled for shipment. In-stock items generally ship within 3 to 5 business days. Non-stock garments generally ship within 10 to 20 business days.

With uniform programs that are set up with minimum inventory levels, the orders ship 97% complete. This assumes that the inventory levels are set correctly to maintain the proper stocking level needed to fulfill order volume.

Expediting Process:
At the end of every day, a report is printed to show what orders have shipped complete and which partial shipments have gone out. An expeditor is given this report on a daily basis to research the back order delays and resolve any problems within the next business day. This expediting report is reviewed by the General Manager daily. Once a week, a report is generated that shows the status of all orders open in the system over one week old. This report is reviewed in the same manner as the daily reports and expedited.
