Maybe the supplier is just 'shipping' the wrong products on purpose. Now that's a high-priority problem!

I bet the auditor found the order entry guy napping on the job. That's a high-priority issue right there!

Yeah, the auditor must have found some serious issues with the order entry process for it to be the highest priority.

Shipping is the last step, so it should be the highest priority. After all, if the products don't get delivered properly, the entire effort is wasted.

Definitely purchasing. If the purchasing process is flawed, it could result in supply chain disruptions and cost overruns. That's the one that needs the most attention.

I'd go with product test. If the products aren't properly tested, it could lead to quality issues and customer dissatisfaction. That should be the highest priority.

The order entry function seems like the most critical one, as it's the starting point of the entire process. If there are issues there, it could have a cascading effect on the rest of the operations.
