Thien An’s website allows individuals to order goods directly, and full payment is taken in advance. Currently, the website is not integrated into the inventory system and inventory levels are not checked at the time when orders are placed. Goods are despatched via local couriers; however, they do not always record customer signatures as proof that the customer has received the goods. Over the past 12 months there have been customer complaints about the delay between sales orders and receipt of goods. Thien An has investigated these and found that, in each case, the sales order had heen entered into the sales system correctly but was not forwarded to the dispatch department for fulfilling.Thien An’s retail customers undergo credit checks prior to being accepted and credit limits are set accordingly by sales ledger clerks. These customers place their orders through one of the sales team, who decides on sales discount levels. Raw materials used in the manufacturing process are purchased from a wide range of suppliers.

Additionally, changes details in the purchase ledger master file can be undertaken by purchase ledger clerks as well as supervisors. In the past six months, Thien An has changed part of its manufacturing process and as a result some new equipment has been purchased, however, there are considerable levels of plant and equipment which are now surplus to requirement.
