Fig. 5. Mapping of service time components on the sales process
From the mapping of the components in the sales process (Figure 5), it is shown that the largest component of the service time is the process of getting goods at the warehouse (15-25 minutes) and the process of checking prices and making a sales receipt (10-25 minutes). These processes take a relatively long time because:
B2B customer segments are served by the same business process with the B2C segment. Consequently the sales clerk cannot focus on serving the consumer of the B2B segment since the clerk must also serve a purchase of spare parts in small quantities by the consumer B2C.
The process of getting goods at the warehouse involves searching activity in the warehouse since the items are not stored in an organized manner. Even sometimes the item is out of stock.
The process of making sales note is done manually with the aid of a calculator that often requires re-checking to ensure no errors.
The process of checking prices item is done by looking at the code and find the price at a set price list books (each particular brand or supplier usually has its own price list books).
4.5.2. Procurement and Inventory Control
The process of inventory control carried out by Workshop X today is a very simple process. The process is basically the process of items stock calculation in the warehouse and order to the supplier. Problem often encountered with current business process is shortage stock on a particular type of item and excess stock on other items. The process is illustrated in Figure 6.
