Wonder how the expeditors to put effort to accelarate the delivery(-ies).Especially when the delivery has been delayed. the funny story is seems that the performance of the expediting in my project is only transfering information from the supplier to the client. No action plan required to the supplier to shorten the delivery or causes analysis to make action plans.
