## Content

**Intro:** When everything is a priority, nothing is. This form makes an expedite an explicit trade-off: what moves up, what moves back, what it costs and who agreed.

**Sections:**

#### How to use it

**Body:** The requester fills in the job, quantity, the original and requested dates and the reason. The scheduler then adds which jobs are delayed and the extra cost, and checks readiness for material, tooling, programs and inspection. Collect signatures and keep the form with the schedule change. Export as PDF to circulate.

**Bullets:**

- Ask for the date the customer truly needs, not the earliest possible.
- Check if a partial shipment solves the problem.
- State the jobs that slip, with dates.

#### Why it matters

**Body:** Expediting one job usually costs another job time. Without a record, the delayed jobs surprise their own customers. The form forces the conversation up front and gives sales an honest answer about the knock-on effects. It also builds a record of how often and why expedites happen, which feeds lead time and safety stock decisions.

#### Readiness first

**Body:** A hot job that sits waiting for a missing gauge or material is the worst outcome. The readiness table is short on purpose: confirm everything outside the machine before moving the job to the front. Material and tooling are the most common blockers, followed by missing inspection instructions.

#### Common mistakes

**Body:** Do not accept verbal expedites from several people at once. Do not forget to reschedule the displaced jobs and tell their owners. And review expedite counts monthly; a rising count is a signal to fix upstream planning.

**Cta:** If expedites are a recurring pain, we can help pull late-job and expedite history from your ERP to find the root causes.

**Faq:**

#### Who can authorize an expedite?

**Answer:** Define it in your procedure. Often the production manager decides after the scheduler shows the impact, with sales agreeing to any customer-facing change.

#### Does an expedite change the ERP due date?

**Answer:** It should. Update the work order dates and priority in the system so the floor, purchasing and shipping see the same plan.

#### How do I limit hot jobs?

**Answer:** Track them and show the cost. Many plants cap hot jobs per week per work center so the list stays meaningful.

#### Can I charge the customer?

**Answer:** That depends on your contract. The cost field gives sales the data to quote a premium if the terms allow it.
