Just my perspective, let's say a vendor always has an ongoing delay of 10-14 business days on processing orders, and that's for everything the vendor sells ..... I'd suggest to the owner/top manager that he or she gets their people to work overtime and weekends to catch up on the backlog - all hands on deck. Use temps for the simpler things such as picking and packing. Afterwards new orders and shipments should be in balance and there should only be a relatively short delay in picking, billing and shipping things that are in stock. All this in line with customers' expectations and the service they get from most other suppliers even in these days.
For example just recently I placed an on-line order for multiple things with Precision Reloading - no doubt a relatively small company - and I had it about one week later. 3X in a row that's happened over the last month or so. I'd say PR has its "stuff" together.
