十五题。The following appeared in a presentation by the chief production manager of a machine parts manufacturing company at a management meeting: “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.” 思路是什么呀,我不是很看得懂。。。 -- by 会员 冬瓜 (2010/9/24 13:51:05)
题目意思是说制造商的一家工厂1单位成本生产drill bits的数量比其他任何一家工厂的数量都多,给出了数据(7<10),所以应该把这家工厂全部用于投入到生产drill bits中去,其他的部件由其他厂商生产。这样做的效果会有助于降低drill bits的总成本,又因为降低生产个别部件的总成本是降低总成本的唯一方法,所以制造商的总成本会下降。
1.有一个比较优势的概念,简单的来说,A 厂1单位成本生产DB 10个,B~Z 厂1单位成本生产DB 7个,如果A 厂1单位成本生产XX 20个,B~Z 厂1单位成本生产XX 7个,那么明显A 厂应该专门生产XX,而B~Z厂专门生产DB。这就否定了制造商能够降低drill bits的总成本的结论
2.即使真能降低drill bits的总成本,B~Z 厂生产XX的成本可能增加会并超过drill bits总成本的减少额,所以不会使生产个别部件的总成本下降,可以根据1进行推理。
