Cookville工厂这个题我的见解和求助

蒙其D石头

The following appeared as part of an article in the local newspaper:

"Our factory in Cookville is our most advanced and efficient. It is capable of producing ten drill bits for each 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 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 machine to our other factories will help us to attain that larger goal

恩。。按照顺序

1.没有必然因果   文中说因为Cookville能用一个生产成本造10个drill bits，别的factories最多造7个，就推出让Cookville全部造DB能减少生产成本   这只是有联系的两个事情并没有必然因果，比如，如果C现在生产DB能力已经达到了极限，再加多反而会让总成本增高很多  比如，C造别的东西比造DB更节约成本，那么让C只造DB反而会增加成本

2.错误充要   文中说减少机器零件的生产成本是ONLY方法减少总生产成本（这里有个问题是，到底什么是生产成本的准确定义）                                        但其实有其他因素可以减少总生产成本               比如。。。比如不出来了，但总觉得这地方肯定有问题，大家探讨啊。。

3.问中还说把造其他零件的机器全部搬到其他厂去 ， 还是和第一个一样的错 ， 比如，其他厂造这些零件的成本更高，那么由C造DB所节约的成本是否能OUTWEIGH由其他厂造其他零件所增加的成本呢？                   等等

这个题我觉得我最想和大家探讨的是，要不要从最终节约了成本以后的实际效果来看，就是比如通过生产成本降低了，但其实最后弄出来的东西没以前好了，或是增加了很多其他成本，反而有很大的副作用。。。。。。。  

但这样好像就和原文有点脱离，集思广益呀。。。！！！。。！！！

帮顶！！！我也觉得2有错误，但说不上来～

PS：不知道怎么找新题的讨论喔，知道麻烦告我下，谢！

The following is my reply in another post. Just FYI.

Labour cost: might be different machine, different skill set, Over time Pay etc.

Transition cost: transfer the product line from the other plants to Cookville.

Limited capacity: Cookville's machine has limited capacity in producing drill pits. Once the limit has been overpassed, there's no more room to improve overall production.

Cut other overhead costs: The article mentioned 'Since reducing the production costs of individual machine parts is the only way to achieve our larger goal of reducing our overall production costs' which is not right.  i.e. Production costs = direct cost + indirect cost. Labor, rental costs are also attributed to product costs. Therefore we're able to improve the efficiency through mutliple cost cutting projects rather than simply boosting the machine operating hours.

Just my two cents. Let me know if you have any questions.
