    An order cycle consists of four main stages: taking the order, processing the order, shipping the order, and delivering the order. The length of the order cycle determines how long it takes for a customer's order to be received and processed. Calculating the order cycle time is important for supply chain visibility and determining opportunities for optimization, as the cycle time can impact customer satisfaction. Companies often seek to shorten the cycle time by improving warehouse flow, setting protocols and limits, continuously measuring the cycle time, and outsourcing fulfillment. Barcodes are used in logistics to automatically identify and collect data in an efficient manner, providing benefits like reducing human error, lowering training costs, improving warehouse control, and enabling better decision making.

    Order Cycle and Barcode

    1. Order Cycle
    An order cycle is a time it takes to receive an order
    and process it. This time frame can vary depending
    on the type of product or service being ordered.
    Order cycle can be calculated by this formula:
    Order Cycle Time = (Delivery Date – Order Date)
    Total Orders Shipped

    There are four main stages in an order cycle:


    Step 1: Taking the Order
    The first step in an order cycle is taking the
    customer’s order. This can be done over the phone,
    online, or in person.
    The order must be recorded accurately so that it
    can be processed correctly.

    • Step 2: Processing the Order


    • Once the order has been taken, it must be
    processed. This includes inputting the order into
    the system, checking for availability, and
    calculating the cost.
    • Depending on the complexity of the order,
    this stage can take a few minutes to a few hours.

    Step 3: Shipping the Order


    Once the order has been processed, it needs to be
    shipped. This involves packaging the product and
    sending them to the customer via a shipping method.
    The shipping time will depend on the distance the
    product needs to travel, and the shipping method
    used.

    Step 4: Delivering the Order:


    The final stage in the order cycle is delivering the
    order to the customer. For local orders, this can be
    done by hand or with a delivery service. For online
    orders, the product will be shipped to the customer’s
    address. Depending on the shipping method used,
    delivery can take a few days to a few weeks.

    The important of Order Cycle

    The order cycle is an important part of logistics. It


    determines how long it will take for an order to be
    received and processed. Calculating your order cycle
    time is important to gain supply chain visibility and
    determine any opportunities for
    optimization.Moreover, order cycle time can have a
    positive or negative impact on customer satisfaction.
    Therefore, today's companies often shorten the
    order cycle time by:
    1. Improve warehouse flow
    2. Set protocols and limits
    3. Continue measuring order cycle time
    4. Outsource fulfillment

    2. Barcode
    Barcode is an automatic identification technology
    developed and generated computer application for
    data collection, in an effective way achieved by
    automatic scanning of information.
    There are multiple advantages of barcode in
    logistics industry:
    1. Barcodes eliminate the possibility of human
    error.
    2. Using a barcode system will reduces employee
    training time.
    3. Barcodes are inexpensive to design and print.
    4. Barcodes are extremely versatile.
    5. Warehouse control improves.
    6. Barcodes provide better data.
    7. Barcodes promote better decision making.
