Type of Expediting
Project Full-Time Monitoring
Through the course of manufacturing will be present from start to finish on all purchase orders within multiple facilities in the same geographical region. Various parts may be manufactured at multiple vendors within a close proximity of one another and can cause major delays when some parts are not ready for assembly thus causing an impact on the final equipment delivery timeframe. With full-time expediting you have the peace of mind knowing your equipment and parts will be delivered when they are needed.
Vendor Specific Expediting
We provide all necessary information to our clients concerning all stages of engineering, procurement, fabrication and delivery processes, that are performed on time by their manufacturers in accordance with a known, agreed and reliable production program. Detail reports will be generate.
Desk/Coordination Expediting
Some materials and equipment do not have tight timeframes that require full-time monitoring. This is were desk expeditor can follow low critical supplies by monitoring the progress of the orders. Our clients use this to obtain periodic general information such as placement of sub orders, overall progress of the fabrication, and deliveries. Our vendor inspection services can be very beneficial to this process in reducing expediting costs. This allows you to monitor the quality of your parts and equipment and verify the progress of orders with the manufacturer against key milestones.
