610. Previously, Autoco designed all of its carsitself and then contracted with specialized parts suppliers to build partsaccording to its specifications. Now it plans to include its suppliers indesigning the parts they are to build. Since many parts suppliers have moredesigners with specialized experience than Autoco has, Autoco expects thisshift to reduce the overall time and cost of the design of its next new car.
Which of the following, if true, most stronglysupports Autoco's expectation?
(A) When suppliers provide their own designs,Autoco often needs to modify its overall design,
(B) In order to provide designs for Autoco,several of the parts suppliers will have to add to their
existing staffs of designers.
(C) Parts and services provided by outsidesuppliers account for more than 50 percent of Autoco’s
total costs.
(D) When suppliers built parts according tospecifications provided by Autoco, the suppliers
competed to win contracts.
(E) Most of Autoco's suppliers have on hand awide range of previously prepared parts designs that
can readily be modified for a new car.答案是e 但是我不懂为什么d不对
og上对d的解释是 If anything, this competition probably made Autoco's previous design process cheaper. It does not suggest that the new design process, which may involve less competition, will be faster or cheaper than the previous one.

题目中的逻辑是使用supplier可以做到1.reduce time 2.reduce cost
D选项－supplier竞争可以reduce cost，但time无法告知是否reduce，不完整
E选项－因为很多supplier都有提供给新车的配件，所以不需要再额外生产，所以既reduce time也reduce cost作者: lisiberry 时间: 2017-3-16 04:55

挺有意思的一道题。D不对是因为这句话只是在描述Supplier在与Autoco公司签约之前的竞争过程，与后来论点中说的Autoco与Supplier合作后可以省钱，没有一毛钱关系。因为即使签约前配件样品做得好，不等于会整体省钱。
