<u>Statement :</u> The Company X has rejected first lot of values supplied by Company A and has cancelled its entire huge order quoting use of inferior quality material and poor craftsmanship.<br><br><u>Courses of Action :</u><br> I. The Company A needs to investigate functioning of its purchase, production and quality control departments.<br>II. The Company A should inspect all the valves rejected by Company X.<br>III. The Company A should inform Company X that steps have been taken for improvement and renegotiate schedule of supply.
