Case Operating estimate
Reconnecting Sales and Purchasing Information
The same order information was being viewed, re-entered and reorganized again and again across sales and supply-chain work. We rebuilt the flow so it is captured once and passed along. About six people use it in production, removing an estimated 67.7 hours a month of manual work.
The problem
The same order information had to be repeatedly viewed, re-entered and reorganized across sales and supply-chain work.
The rebuilt flow
- Order source
- Automated capture
- Structured operational data
- Sales fulfillment decision
- Recorded status
- Purchasing summary
- Supply-chain execution
Results Operating estimate
- In production, used by about 6 people
- Sales use it 20+ times per operating day
- Supply-chain summary about once per day
- About 67.7 hours per month of active manual work removed
The time figure is an operating estimate based on confirmed workflow frequency and task-time assumptions, not backend time tracking.
Key principle Automation moves information. People keep the business decisions.
