填空题The Operations Function Goods are tangible items purchased by individuals or organizations for subsequent uses. 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. (9) .They have a conversion process, some resource inputs into that process, the outputs resulting from the conversions of the inputs, and the information feedback about the activities in the operations system. (10) . Economists refer to the transformation of resources into goods and services as the production function. (11) .This process is what creates the revenue for the company making the products or providing the services. (12) . 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. (13) .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. (14) .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.

{{B}}Route to big delivery
savings{{/B}} There are few areas left within the world's largest
businesses where one close look can deliver instant savings of 1 per cent of
sales. For Rhodia, the chemicals arm of French conglomerate Rh6ne-Poulenc,
scrutiny of the company's transport costs in the UK led to just such savings.
Management consultants A.T. Kearney were commissioned to review the company's
operations. They scoured order books, invoices and transport logs at the
company's fourteen UK sites. some transport they could not account for at
all Surprising as it may seem, there were simply no records.
A.T. Kearney's initial survey found that transport accounted for 10 per
cent of the company's traceable spending in the UK, and that during a 12-month
period, 235 different hauliers had moved products for the company. The company
were also running a 30-strong fleet of their own.{{U}} (9) {{/U}}In a
more positive light, though, they meant that the opportunity to improve was
huge. Transport buying was being dictated by the backgrounds of
the buyers, rather than rational criteria.{{U}} (10) {{/U}}Instead, they
were typically former drivers or site workers who bought transport from a
network of contacts built up over many years. Even where buyers
were seeking tile cheapest transport, their task was complicated by numerous
different tariffs for different measures. For A.T. Kearney, the solution lay in
a comprehensive, standardised tendering process. During the following weeks, all
the company's existing suppliers, Rhodia's own fleet, and others were invited to
tender for business.{{U}} (11) {{/U}}Modelling of these responses
began: what if this part of the business was given to X, and this part to Y -
what does it do to costs? Rhodia then went back to the most
promising applicants and offered them deals for packages of business.{{U}}
(12) {{/U}}In this way the company ensured that they got the best
possible arrangement. Inevitably, this process favoured large suppliers.{{U}}
(13) {{/U}}For example, a driver with his own lorry, who had been
transporting goods for the company for years, submitted a tender. A sub-
contracting arrangement was made for him with one of the final
suppliers. Today, Rhodia have five main hauliers, who account
for 90 per cent of the company's transport spending. All rates are standardised:
the whole system is a very simple one. But perhaps the most extraordinary
outcome from this monumental number-crunching exercise was the bottom line
impact.{{U}} (14) {{/U}}The new set-up has delivered savings of more
than 25 per cent. And the company is confident of achieving even more
savings.A Before the review, transport was eating up 3 per cent of the
company's UK sales revenue.B Nevertheless, the situation was not
helped by the fragmented nature of the haulage industry.C More than 60
did so, and their quotes were then analysed.D Among the terms they
included in these contracts were requirements for improvements in costs,
flexibility and reliability.E None had come into logistics as part of
a management career.F But hauliers at the other end of the scale were
not automatically' excluded.G These results horrified the company, as
they were far worse than had been anticipated.H Some transport they
could not account for at all.

填空题How to Run a MeetingTheir appointment as committee chairman takes people in different ways. Some seize the opportunity to impose their Will on a group that they see themselves licensed to dominate. Others are more like scoutmasters, for (31) the collective activity of the group is satisfactory enough, with no need for achievement. And (32) are the insecure or lazy chairmen who look to the meeting for reassurance and support in their ineffectiveness and inactivity, (33) that they can spread the responsibility for their indecisiveness (34) the whole group.But even the large majority who (35) not go to those extremes still feel a pleasurable tumescence of the ego when they take their place at the head of the table (36) the first time. The feeling is (37) sin: the sin is to indulge in it or to assume that the pleasure is shared by the other members of the meeting.It is the chairman's self-indulgence that is the greatest single barrier to the success of a meeting. His first duty, then, is to be aware of the temptation and of the dangers of yielding (38) it. The clearest of the danger signals is hearing himself talking a lot during a discussion. There is, in fact, only (39) legitimate source of pleasure in chairmanship, and that is pleasure in the achievements of the meeting — and to be legitimate, it must be shared by all those present. Meetings are necessary for all sorts of basic and primitive human reasons, but they are useful only if they (40) seen by all present to be getting somewhere — and somewhere they know they could not have gotten to individually.
