单选题Industrial production managers coordinate the resources and activities required to produce millions of goods every year in the United States. Although their duties vary from plant to plant, industrial production managers share many of the same major responsibilities. These responsibilities include production scheduling, staffing, procurement and maintenance of equipment, quality control, inventory control, and the coordination of production activities with those of other departments. The primary mission of industrial production managers is planning the production schedule within budgetary limitations and time constraints. They do this by analyzing the plant's personnel and capital resources to select the best way of meeting the production quota. Industrial production managers determine, often using mathematical formulas, which machines will be used, whether new machines need to be purchased, whether overtime or extra shifts are necessary, and what the sequence of production will be. They monitor the production run to make sure that it stays on schedule and correct any problems that may arise. Industrial production managers also must monitor product standards. When quality drops below the established standard, they must determine why standards are not being maintained and how to improve the product. If the problem relates to the quality of work performed in the plant, the manager may implement better training programs, reorganize the manufacturing process, or institute employee suggestion or involvement programs. If the cause is substandard materials, the manager works with the purchasing department to improve the quality of the product's components. Because the work of many departments is interrelated, managers work closely with heads of other departments such as sales, procurement, and logistics to plan and implement company goals, policies, and procedures. For example, the production manager works with the procurement department to ensure that plant inventories are maintained at their optimal level. This is vital to a firm's operation because maintaining the inventory of materials necessary for production ties up the firm's financial resources, yet insufficient quantities cause delays in production. A breakdown in communications between the production manager and the purchasing department can cause slowdown and a failure to meet production schedules. Just-in-time production techniques have reduced inventory levels, making constant communication among the manager, suppliers, and purchasing departments even more important. Computers play an integral part in this coordination. They also are used to provide up-to-date information on inventory, the status of work in progress, and quality standards. Production managers usually report to the plant manager or the vice president for manufacturing, and may act as liaison between executives and first line supervisors. In many plants, one production manager is responsible for all aspects of production. In large plants with several operations, there are managers in charge of each operation, such as machining, assembly, or finishing.

单选题 She was slim and he liked her that way. So he called a lawyer. The result was a contract. According to the document, the fresh-faced bride agreed to pay a fine for each pound she gained in weight, the money refundable upon its loss. The paper signed, and the wedding went on. This is a prenuptial agreement—one more indication of the strange pass of marriage in this most trans- actional decade. You are welcome to marriage, contractual style, where increasingly detailed le- gal documents spell out everything from who' s going to do the dishes to who' s going to get the house when you split. This is family planning taken to extreme. Once employed solely by the rich, second-timers and the old industrialist carrying off the latest young cookie, the prenuptial agreement—a written pact between a couple outlining the financial obligation in the event of divorce—is becoming com- monplace in a litigious, disillusioned and materialistic age in which one in every two marriages is projected to end in divorce. The only question is: What about love? When asked whether anyone believes in Cupid any-more, Dr. Michael Vincent Miller says, "Given a century that is full of sexual liberation, com- purer-dating services and so on, one feels tempted to reply, Only in a mood of desperate nostalgia. '""Prenups do assume negativity. Founded on disillusionment, they cannot be separated from the United States." The result, argues Miller, is a kind of defending mentality. "We have got good at managing finiteness, failure and trouble with a sort of 'What's yours and what's mine is mine's realism. We've seen it isn't all about love. We've seen there's power politics in there—a fight for control, and when you've got those things, you're half way to lawyers and money." In other ways, however, the compacts embody positive, even idealistic thinking about marriage, love and relations, a law scholar Isabel Marcus believes. Marcus says, "Contracts could spell the end of romantic love as salvation. They say love exists, but that it's best accompanied by good, hard thinking about equitability." By writing a contract, the couple gains control of its marriage. "What' s good is it contributes to honesty; what' s unfortunate is the idea that any contract can govern your emotions," says the author of the book The Nature of Love.
