“Our factory in Cookville is our most advanced and efficient. It is capable of producing ten drill bits for each dollar of production costs, whereas none of our other factories can produce more than seven drill bits per dollar of production costs. Therefore, we can reduce our overall drill bit production costs by devoting the Cookville factory entirely to drill bit production. Since reducing the production costs of individual machine parts is the only way to achieve our larger goal of reducing our overall production costs, dedicating the Cookville factory entirely to drill bit production and shifting all other machine part production to our other factories will help us to attain that larger goal.”
我翻得不咋样，供参考吧：
下面这段话出自一个机器配件公司的主管产品经理在管理大会中的报告：
我们在Cookville的工厂是我们最先进和最有效率的，它能以一美元生产10个钻头；而我们其它工厂只能生厂7个多。因此，我们能通过将Cookville工厂全部用来生产钻头来削减我们的总体钻头产品的成本。因为削减单个机器部件的成本是我们达到更大目标——削减整个产品成本的唯一途径。将Cookville工厂专门用来生产钻头，将其它机器部件转到我们其它工厂生产将帮助我们达到削减整个产品成本的目标。
