Q311.
Statement: The Company 'X' has rejected first lot of valves supplied by Company 'A' and has cancelled its entire huge order quoting use of inferior-quality material and poor craftsmanship.
Courses of action:
I. The Company 'A' needs to investigate functioning of its purchase, production and quality                  control departments.
II.   The Company 'A' should inspect all the valves rejected by Company 'X'.
III. The Company 'A' should inform Company 'X' that steps have been taken for improvement               and renegotiate schedule of supply.

1) Only I and II 2) Only II
3) All I, II and HI 4) II and either I or III
5)None of these
Answer : All I, II and HI
Explanation :
As in the statement it is mentioned 'rejection due to inferior quality material and poor craftsmanship', it is well known that purchase dept. is responsible for purchasing the inferior quality material. Again production dept. is responsible for improper inspection.
Hence investigation is compulsory for all the departments. 
Hence I follows. II follows because claim of company 'X' may be wrong. Ill follows because relationships with a previous client should always be kept up.
