Ensuring project timetables remain on schedule

In many cases it’s impossible to be on-site with every supplier around the world, so there is a need for trusted local expeditors with in-depth knowledge of procurement, production and delivery processes.

Large-scale projects and the supply of critical goods and equipment can involve complex international supply chains, with items procured from suppliers in multiple countries. Late delivery from any one supplier can have an impact on the whole chain, preventing projects from being completed on time and on budget. Expediting means taking any action necessary to ensure that deliveries are made on time and to specification.

Expediting services enable your projects to proceed as scheduled and aid in minimizing delays and costly product deficiency issues.

Main Types of Expediting Services

• Project Full-Time Monitoring

Through the course of manufacturing nsp-e Engineering expeditors will be present from start to finish on all purchase orders within multiple facilities in the same  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 nsp-e Engineering full-time expeditors 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.

• Desk/Coordination Expediting

Some materials and equipment do not have tight timeframes that require full-time monitoring. nsp-e Engineering can provide experienced desk expeditors that 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. nsp-e Engineering 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.
