Case Study: Order Processing in E-

commerce Using Queues


IntroductIon:
In an e-commerce system, order processing is critical for maintaining customer satisfaction and ensuring
smooth operations. Orders need to be processed efficiently to fulfill customer expectations, especially
during high-traffic periods such as sales or promotional events. A queue data structure is ideal for
handling this, as it follows the First-Come, First-Served (FCFS) principle, ensuring fairness in order
processing.

AIM:
The aim of this program is to simulate an order processing system in an e-commerce environment using
a queue data structure. The program demonstrates how orders are placed, processed, and tracked in a
First-Come, First-Served (FCFS) manner, ensuring that the first order placed is the first one processed.

SyStem deSIgn

1. Data Structures:

o Queue: To store and manage the list of pending orders.

o Order: A data structure to hold details such as Order ID, Customer ID, Product ID,
Timestamp, and Order Status.

2. Components:

o Order Placement Module: Handles order creation, assigns an Order ID, and places the
order in the queue.

o Order Processing Module: Retrieves orders from the front of the queue for processing.

o Order Status Module: Allows users or administrators to check the status of pending or
processed orders.

o Order Completion Module: Marks the order as processed, removes it from the queue,
and updates the system.

outPut:
SPace comPlexIty :

 Per Order: O(1) — Each order takes a constant amount of memory (112 bytes per order).

 Queue: O(n) — The total space is proportional to the number of orders n in the queue.

Thus, the overall space complexity is O(n), where n is the number of orders in the queue.

examPle ScenarIo:
1. A customer places an order for a product. The system generates an Order ID and places it in the
queue.

2. The system processes orders one by one in the order they are placed.

3. An administrator or customer can check the status of an order while it is in the queue.

4. Once the order is processed, it is marked as "Completed" and removed from the queue.

advantageS of uSIng QueueS In e-commerce


 Fairness: Ensures that orders are processed in the order they were placed, adhering to the FCFS
principle.

 Scalability: The queue structure can handle a large number of orders during peak traffic.

 Simplicity: Queue-based processing is easy to implement and manage, reducing the complexity
of the system.

concluSIon
Using a queue-based order processing system ensures fairness and efficiency in an e-commerce
platform. By processing orders on a first-come, first-served basis, customers experience reliable service,
and the platform can scale to handle large order volumes effectively.
