(215) and Central warehouse (87) units and highest and lowest control scores respectively were obtained
from Perform (234) and Central warehouse (164) units. Also, highest and lowest Risk index respectively
were obtained from Cutting unit (88) and central warehouse (-10) units. Finally, Packaging was dedicated
highest overall risk index.
Conclusion:
