schemes in manufacturing industry from more than ten decade. The company employs more

grievances due to the other benefits provided by the company. But the company is facing
countable number of problems in supplying the materials in recent past days. Problems like
quality issues, mismatch in packing materials (placing material A in box of material B)
incorrect labeling of material, not dispatching the material on time etc…
