I have formulated the problem and prepared an issue tree in my assignment and obtained the following hypothesis.

H$1$: Implementing stricter vendor selection criteria that prioritize on$-$time delivery performance will significantly reduce delays in receiving critical components.

H$2$: The Ordering of Cases to be done in line with Schedule.

This hypothesis is directly addressing one of the root causes identified in the issue tree $($ineffective vendor selection$)$ and proposes a testable solution to improve on$-$time delivery performance.

In continuation, please gather.

$($a$)$ relevant data for the hypothesis from the right people,

$($b$)$ analyse the data appropriately and

$($c$)$ give your recommendations on what should be implemented.

$($d$)$ Prepare project implementation plan and

$($e$)$ analyze its financial and ESG implications. Quantification in terms of cost savings or increase in revenue is extremely important as a part of your assignment.

Please focus on every part of the assignment that requires you to come to a conclusion for implementation.
