单选题 On Monday, October 9th, Prolert Pharmaceuticals, Inc. will begin preliminary testing of the mechanical prototype for the packaging and labeling assembly line. If the prototype is successful, this sector will begin using automated production on the first of November, with other departments to follow when the timing is appropriate. Packaging and Labeling will be the first of the company's divisions to make the switch to automated production.
The automated technology is an industry standard and is being adopted by ProLert Pharmaceuticals in accordance with the decision reached by the board to directors. After two years of decreased profits and diminishing returns, the board voted to streamline the company, which includes implementing the automated process. The technology has been shown to lower labor costs, and maximize output.
For details on the automated process and broader streamlining measures, you can visit our employee notice page under www.prolert.employees.com.
