Definition & Explanation
Process prioritization determines which shipments, orders, or procedures are handled first, contrasting with process coordination which synchronizes all flows. A freight forwarder might prioritize air shipments over sea freight or assign premium resources to emergency deliveries ahead of standard orders. Ranking follows service-level agreements, urgency, or available capacity. Clear prioritization rules increase throughput and reduce average processing time.
