Expediting is the important function of monitoring the status of manufacture in relation to purchase orders, to ensure materials are supplied in accordance with the delivery dates specified.

QMS includes a powerful expediting module to maintain a complete history of expediting activity. Reporting by exception means that high priority or potential problem areas get the greatest attention, and that expediting becomes a routine process.

Expediting information can be recorded at both a summary level, in relation to a Purchase Order in general, or at a line item level of detail. The history of previous contacts is maintained at both levels.

Typical information that can be recorded includes:

  • Date of contact
  • Vendor Comments
  • Forecast delivery date
  • Likely date
  • Expeditors comments
  • Next Contact date
  • Shipping details
