大学英语精读:第一册 UNIT 67500字 San set out to improve efficiency at the shirt factory but, as we find out later in this unit, his plans turned out not quite as he had expected. 毕业 Sam Adams, Industrial Engineer 简历大全 /html/jianli/ If you ask my mother how I happened to become an industrial engineer, shell tell you that I have always been one. 思想汇报 /sixianghuibao/ She means that I have always wanted everything to be well organized and neat. When I was still in elementary school, I liked to keep my socks in the upper left-hand drawer of my bureau, my underwear in the upper right drawer, shirts in the middle drawer, and pants, neatly folded, in the bottom drawer. 总结大全 /html/zongjie/In fact, I was the efficiency expert for the whole family. I used to organize my fathers tools, my mothers kitchen utensils, my sisters boyfriends. 毕业论文I needed to be efficient. I wanted to be well organized. For me, there was a place for everything and everything was always in its place. These qualities gave me a good foundation for a career in industrial engineering. 简历大全 /html/jianli/ Unfortunately, I was also a bit bossy and I wasnt a very good listener. Youll see what I mean when I tell you about the first project I ever did after I finished my bachelors degree at the university. 思想汇报 /sixianghuibao/After graduation I returned home to my small town in Indiana. I didnt have a job yet. Mr. Hobbs, a friend of my fathers, owned a small shirt factory in town. Within the past five years it had grown from twenty to eighty workers. Mr. Hobbs was worried that his plant was getting too big and inefficient, so he asked me to come in on a short-term basis as a consultant. 开题报告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/I went to the plant and spent about a week looking around and making notes. I was really amazed at what I saw. 作文 /zuowen/Most curious of all, there was no quality control whatsoever. No one inspected the final product of the factory. As a result some of the shirts that were put in boxes for shipment were missing one or two buttons, the collar, even a sleeve sometimes! 作文 /zuowen/The working conditions were poor. The tables where the workers sat were very high and uncomfortable. Except for a half hour at lunchtime, there were no breaks in the day to relieve the boring work. There was no music. The walls of the workrooms were a dull gray color. I was amazed that the workers hadnt gone on strike.Furthermore, the work flow was irregular. There was one especially absent-minded young man in the assembly line who sewed on buttons. After a while I recognized him as Big Jim, who used to sit behind me in math class in high school. He was very slow and all the shifts were held up at his position. Workers beyond him in line on his shift had to wait with nothing to do; therefore, a great deal of time and efficiency were lost as Big Jim daydreamed while he worked. All week I wondered why he wasnt fired.After I made observations for a week, Mr. Hobbs asked me for an oral report of my findings. I covered my major points by telling him the following: 简历大全 /html/jianli/ If you have a quality control inspection, you will greatly improve your finished product. 开题报告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/If the assembly line is redesigned, a smooth work flow can be achieved and time and energy can be saved. 毕业论文 If you decrease the height of the worktables, the machine operators will work more comfortably.If the management provides pleasant background music and beautifies the dull setting, the factory will be much more productive. If the workers have a fifteen-minute coffee break in the morning and afternoon, they will be more efficient. 毕业If excellent work results in frequent pay increases or promotions, the workers will have greater incentive to produce. 毕业论文Mr. Hobbs thanked me for this report and told me he would talk over my suggestions with his brother, the co-owner and manager of the factory. Were interested in progress here, he said. We want to keep up with the times. 毕业论文He also gave me a check for $ 100 and a box of shirts with his compliments. 毕业论文 NEW WORDS 毕业论文efficiency 开题报告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/n. the state or quality of being efficient 效率 总结大全 /html/zongjie/industrial 作文 /zuowen/a. of industry 工业的 论文代写 neat 毕业a. orderly and clean 整洁的 毕业论文elementarya. of or for beginners 初等的,初级的 开题报告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/sock n. 短袜 drawer 论文代写n. 抽屉 作文 /zuowen/bureau 简历大全 /html/jianli/n. a chest of drawers for bedroom use 衣柜 简历大全 /html/jianli/underwear 总结大全 /html/zongjie/n. 内衣 简历大全 /html/jianli/ pants 总结大全 /html/zongjie/ n. trousers 毕业expert 论文代写n. a person with special knowledge or skill 专家,能手 论文代写kitchen 毕业n. room used for cooking厨房 毕业 utensil n. any tool or container used in the house, esp. for cooking用具,器皿 总结大全 /html/zongjie/ qualityn. the degree of goodness which a thing or a person possesses质量;品质 毕业论文foundation 开题报告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/ n. 基础 毕业careern. profession;
