In-depth Use Case / Real-world Example
A company manufacturing office furniture calculates Order Cycle Time by tracking the time from when a customer places an order to when it is delivered. For example, if an order is placed on day 1 and delivered on day 5, the cycle time is 5 days. Reducing order cycle time helps improve customer satisfaction and reduces the time for inventory turnover.
