The standard is used to grade nonsupervisory jobs involved in routing and expediting the movement of parts, end items, supplies, and materials within production and repair facilities to meet priority needs. The work requires knowledge of material characteristics, uses, condition, industrial production shop procedures, shop layout, and internal supply sources. Two different levels of materials expediter, WG-5 and WG-7, are described in terms of duties, skill and knowledge, responsibility, physical effort, and working conditions. (AG)
