1. Suppose you are an operations director (high level executive over day-to-day production), and your leadership team has decided to expand the competing priorities to the list below:
   1. Delivery Schedule Adherence
   2. Cost Adherence
   3. Innovation & Process Improvements Gained
   4. People (attendance)
   5. Worker Safety 
   6. Product First-Time Quality 

 

How would you rank the 6 competing priorities listed above? Rank them from 1-6 (with 1 being the most important) and provide a brief rationale for each consideration as to why you ranked it in that spot on the list.
