Expediting
The main objective of Expediting is to ensure that the orders placed by Clients through the Procurement Specialist are delivered on or before the promised date or to coincide the deliveries with the project construction superintendent’s requirements. On-going communication between the vendor, team members, client and the construction superintendent is critical. On many occasions the field staff may require the order to be delivered after the promised date due to either limited storage space or off loading equipment is not available.
To maintain the momentum of the project, the Expeditor will need to expedite internally and externally. Hold-ups within the Client’s office, drafting, engineering etc. can delay orders and therefore finally deliveries, thus the need to coordinate and communicate with Document Control as to the status of squad checks. It is the responsibility of the Expeditor to physically find the area that is holding up the approval procedure and assist in the timely return of the documents to Document Control.
Upon the completion of the project it is necessary for Chase to provide the client with a completed set of data books. Document Control will advise Expediting as to the outstanding documents required to finalize these books and it is then the responsibility if Expediting to contact all the necessary vendors to facilitate the timely delivery of these documents before the project is completed.
