Expediting
We coordinate all stages of your projects
What is it
We provide personnel who are specialised and qualified in expediting activities, to respond to the growing need of customers to manage and control increasingly complex orders, in all sectors where the document and production process must comply with strict delivery schedules.
Types of plant systems or components and the industries for which we provide expediting services
| Oil & gas | Manufacturing |
| Petrochemical | Infrastructure |
| Energy (renewable energy included) | Pharmaceutical |
| Steelworks | Beauty & Cosmetics |
| Chemical | Automotive |
What it consists of
We provide expediting activities based on three key methodologies, depending on the level of criticality and/or the type of supply required:
01
Desk Expediting
Desk Expediting consists of remote monitoring activities by our technicians of the various phases of the project, by landline telephone calls, remote meetings (via Teams/Skype, etc.) and email communications.
The purpose of desk expediting is to identify any criticalities, based on an attentive joint interpretation of the information received from suppliers.
02
Field or Resident Expediting
On the contrary, our Field Expediters enter into action when it is necessary to monitor the various project phases directly at the manufacturing site and report their status to the customer.
In addition to verifying and supporting the review of production schedules, so as to ensure all necessary actions are put in place to ensure timely and correct processing of orders, the Field Expediters also monitor the issuance, review and approval of documents.
For particularly critical or complex orders, we can also provide a full-time monitoring service with an expediter working on-site.
03
Document Expediting
We provide personnel specialising in Document Expediting, to deliver timely and accurate support towards achieving the goals and objectives established with the customer.
Our technicians cross-check the approval status of documents, verify and ensure swift and smooth continuity of document flows, and intervene in a timely manner to resolve potential gridlocks.
Who is involved
Our expeditors work in accordance with the customer’s requirements, coordinating activities and frequencies, and monitoring the progress of the project phases to ensure that suppliers meet the delivery deadlines in compliance with the order specifications.
To achieve all of this, they can therefore operate throughout all management phases, from engineering and raw material procurement to processing, testing and shipping.
All EPCI expediters have a solid technical background and are able to determine the actual situation compared to that presented on the production schedules, identifying and preventing potential bottlenecks.
In addition, by working closely with the customer’s Project Managers and reporting the identified situation, they can also improve project progress.
The activities
Thanks to the expertise of our employees and an appropriate number of independent collaborators, we are able to provide the following services and activities:
Monitoring of one or more suppliers involved in the various project phases, starting from the document issue and review status, which aims to speed up the final approval;
Monitoring of the manufacturing and dispatch progress, in order to meet or even anticipate the contractual delivery dates.
Control of the procurement of incoming materials;
Verification of each step, ensuring compliance with agreed deadlines and contractual conditions, the timely identification of possible issues and the proactive implementation of problem solving actions in order to avoid consequences that can hinder the final delivery.
Verification of the production schedule and delivery dates
