1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
This research work is on the
importance of expediting to an organisation. Expediting which can also be
referred to as hastening can bee defined as a process of reminding a supplier,
producer, or distributor as the case may be that he should do every thing he
can do to deliver supply, make available, whole or substantial part of the
goods or service ordered on the date and the time agreed to enable the
purchaser/ buyer take possession of delivery of such goods or service.
Expediting is a follow-up of the
order placed to ensure prompt delivery. It is the post-ordering of the buying
activity.
The progressing activity in most organisations
may be carried out by the use of either internal staff or by external
consultants. The internal progressing is a process concerned with ensuring that
actual production activities are carried out in accordance with the original
plans being made in programmes and schedules of the production control
department. The aim is to ensure that material are made available for
production purpose at all time without interruption. The external processing is
concerned with an order follow-up for order placed with supplier and they are
extended to the buying firm itself. The aim is to ensure that the quantity and
delivery requirement are satisfactorily met.
