填空题Wish little service productivity growth, the principal way of expanding output has been to add more bodies. Politicians love to take credit (31) an 18. 2 million increase in jobs in this decade, (32) in the service businesses firms essentially have been digging the Grand Canyon with millions of people equipped only with picks and shovels-more production but achieved by the brute-force technique of adding bodies, rather (33) by improving efficiency. The opportunities (34) improve service productivity through office automation, better management, etc. are tremendous, even (35) an increase in the skills of the rank and file. The pressure to get that improvement will come from the customers, themselves facing excruciating global competition. A manufacturer can be, doing a bang-up job of raising his own productivity. Furthermore, (36) the globalization of almost everything, service industries from finance (37) airlines are now experiencing direct international competition. And the deregulation of banking, trucking, telecommunications and other service industries has freshened the bracing winds of competition, forcing companies (38) AT￡T and U. S. West to slash their workforces to dramatically improve productivity. A speed-up in productivity growth means that fewer additional service workers will be hired (39) non-manufacturing productivity had grown on trend in the last decade, jobs would have been creeled, and the current unemployment rate would be 13%, and if overall productivity growth in the next ten years averages 2%, the unemployment rate will still average about 10%. So forget about labor shortages in the 1990s. Any slowdown in the labor supply will be more than compensated (40) by increased use of machinery and computers, and by people working better and smarter.

Services are intangible items that are consumed when being provided, with the customer taking away or retaining the benefit of that service. But in many commercial situations, what is provided or produced by an organization can be a mixture of both goods and services. In some situations the product will outweigh the service but in other situations it will be the opposite. The operations function is the part of the organization that exists mainly to generate and produce the products.{{U}} (9) {{/U}}.They have a conversion process, some resource inputs into that process, the outputs resulting from the conversions of the inputs, and theinformation feedback about the activities in the operations system.{{U}} (10) {{/U}}. Economists refer to the transformation of resources into goods and services as the production function.{{U}} (11) {{/U}}.This process is what creates the revenue for the company making the products or providing the services.{{U}} (12) {{/U}}. When taking the conversion process into consideration we must take into account that the process is subject to random change and fluctuations. Unplanned or uncontrolled influences may cause the actual output to differ from the planned output.{{U}} (13) {{/U}}.If there is a circumstance in which the Yangzi River of China was to flood, the production of rice would suffer, therefore causing an increase fluctuation in the price of rice.{{U}} (14) {{/U}}.Fluctuations may also tend to be caused by internal problems inherent in the conversion process. Faulty equipment, material imperfections, and of course human errors are only a few of the ideas that affect output quality. A Other natural problems such as lightning, frost, drought, too much rain, etc., will tend to be the major reason for the fluctuation in product quality and price because of availability. B All producers of whether it be a physical object or service have some basic elements in common. C For example, all managers in any organization will need to know how to train their employees, appraise their performance, and so forth. D The end product then becomes an idea where it is deemed a useful idea due to the form, the time, or the place of their availability from the conversion process. E For example, such fluctuations in the product quality or price may be due to the growing weather conditions of many plants of fruit and vegetables. F Once a product is made available to the consumer, that product is sold and converted into cash for that company and the cycle continues. G The general goal for all production is to create some kind of value added, so the outputs are worth more to the consumer than just the sum of the individual inputs. H In some situations the product will outweigh the service but in other situations it will be the opposite.
