Order processing is a big part of ensuring the customer gets what they want and when they want it. When a company fills an order, key factors include picking, sorting, and packing so the order can be shipped to the store or directly to the customer. Picking is when you collect the number of items so you can make sure the customer is happy, next is sorting things and making sure they go in the right area so they can get ready to be packed, and last is packing the merchandise, this includes weighing and putting the address on the box so that it can get ready to be shipped.

Many factors can impact the manufacturing process. Some of those things are supplies, equipment, overhead, and errors. Companies rely on supplies from our sources, which may be affected by delays in delivery and transportation issues. When a company uses equipment that can break down or have other problems, this can affect the manufacturing process tremendously. If you have machines relying on power to run them and they run into an issue, this can cause a temporary shutdown, costing the company profit. Making errors can affect the company by keeping them from meeting customers' demands, making them take their business elsewhere.
