The research focuses on various types of major damage value problems in descending array in order to find the reason of those incurred problems with regarding to all other concerned factors, then prioritize the problems and find the best resolutions via brainstorming. Moreover, this research also studies the consequence after rectification which affects to cost effective improvement due to development in this area which finally it is a corporate cost saving. If there is no such improvement and if, in the future, the import demand of the machineries and components from China becomes is in higher trend, it will be definitely a burden for the corporate to carry those damage costs.
