delivery is blowing out we need to improve our performance in" }, { "text": "this area any suggestions" }, { "text": "well as i said we have three options the obvious one is to employ more people" }, { "text": "to do the job another alternative is to automate the" }, { "text": "system more cut down on the physical handling" }, { "text": "and the third option we could outsource" }, { "text": "what are the pros and cons well looking at increasing staff versus" }, { "text": "automation we have to consider the cost automating has a higher capital cost" }, { "text": "than putting on more staff on the other hand employing more people" }, { "text": "is more expensive over a long term if we keep growing it'll cost more in" }, { "text": "the long run how likely is it that we'll see" }, { "text": "continued growth i'd say it's a certainty" }, { "text": "oh i'd say a high probability nothing certain in business" }, { "text": "so what about the third option outsourcing" }, { "text": "it does take the problem off our hands but we lose contact with our customers" }, { "text": "what about the bottom line outsourcing is the cheapest option and" }, { "text": "the easiest in the short term but if we want to keep the operation in" }, { "text": "house the best option is automating our system" }, { "text": "the only downside is we're taking a risk that our business will keep growing" }, { "text": "which we hope it will we certainly do today we're looking at our new widget" }, { "text": "plant being built at south side i've asked barbara to report on progress and" }, { "text": "bring us up to date and up to speed barbara thanks denise" }, { "text": "i'll just outline the process we've been through identify some problems and give" }, { "text": "you an estimate on completion time and the outcome financially is it good news" }, { "text": "or bad news bear with me" }, { "text": "now if you recall after a feasibility study we put the" }, { "text": "project out to 10 to 18 months ago

unfortunately there are" }, { "text": "three firstly there's been a delay in materials" }, { "text": "specifically steel because of industrial issues at the suppliers" }, { "text": "secondly we've lost days due to the weather" }, { "text": "and finally there's been a resulting cost blowout" }, { "text": "so what are we going to do well they've managed to get another" }, { "text": "supplier now i suggested moving the completion date" }, { "text": "back that way there's no penalty and they agreed to redeploy their workers" }, { "text": "until building can start again smart thinking" }, { "text": "we've been waiting for the rain to stop but we can't control the weather" }, { "text": "and the cost at this stage just a small overage but" }, { "text": "i'll be watching it very closely over the next few months" }, { "text": "with no more delays we're expecting to complete the project" }, { "text": "just one month behind schedule good work barbara" }, { "text": "now i'd like to refer to the first graph as you can see this is a bar graph" }, { "text": "measuring net sales over the first 10 months of the year" }, { "text": "you'll notice that sales rose steadily in the first few months" }, { "text": "then there was a marked increase in april" }, { "text": "they peaked in may at around 3.2 million and leveled off" }, { "text": "then there was a dramatic drop in the following month" }, { "text": "followed by a significant increase in august and this trend has continued up" }, { "text": "until the present what was the reason for the sudden drop" }, { "text": "in july this was mainly due to a drop-off in air" }, { "text": "conditioner sales so it's a seasonal effect" }, { "text": "could it be a consequence of the negative effect of the interest rate" }, { "text": "rise possibly" }, { "text": "now if i could draw your attention to this next diagram" }, { "text": "this is a line graph of sales the blue line represents air conditioner" }, { "text": "sales the red line shows heaters" }, { "text": "as you'll note air conditioner sales dropped steadily from january to july" }, { "text": "bottoming out then while heater sales experienced a sharp" }, { "text": "increase from march to june then dropped markedly from june to july" }, { "text": "then declined through to september with a pronounced drop in october" }, { "text": "does this explain the fluctuation in total sales largely if we look at this" }, { "text": "pie diagram you can see that air conditioners and" }, { "text": "heaters together represent more than half of our total sales" }, { "text": "but they vary seasonally while other appliances are fairly steady through the" }, { "text": "year well we can't sell air conditioners when" }, { "text": "it's cold what's the solution" }, { "text": "export to europe and america easier said than done" }, { "text": "today i'm going to look at the results of our customer survey" }, { "text": "first i'll go through the survey questions" }, { "text": "then

to the results" }, { "text": "as you can see from the diagram most people decided what to buy when" }, { "text": "they saw the product at the showroom about one-third made their decision" }, { "text":

they relied on" }, { "text": "advertising let's move on to the conclusions" }, { "text": "the first one is that it's very important that" }, { "text": "salespeople on the floor know about our products" }, { "text": "another is that after sales service is critical" }, { "text": "people who experience good after sales service are more likely to recommend a" }, { "text": "brand and finally" }, { "text": "advertising it's expensive so we need to make sure" }, { "text": "we're getting results so i'd like to end with a summary of" }, { "text": "what i've looked at today and some recommendations" }, { "text": "the figures show that sales are strongly seasonal and that customers depend on" }, { "text": "good information on the showroom floor so i'd like to recommend we concentrate" }, { "text": "on discounting in the off seasons and spend more time on briefing our sales" }, { "text": "representatives that's all i have for now" }, { "text": "are there any questions you mentioned that the sales figures" }, { "text": "may also reflect economic trends can you expand on that" }, { "text": "well we are always going to depend on the economy" }, { "text": "as i understand it we can look forward to an improvement this year" }, { "text": "does that answer your question are you saying we're in for a period of" }, { "text": "growth well i'm afraid that's a bit outside my" }, { "text": "area of expertise but that's what the papers are suggesting" }, { "text": "if you believe it you suggested that we might be spending" }, { "text": "too much on advertising can you clarify that" }, { "text": "it's hard to quantify without better data" }, { "text": "sorry could you repeat that" }, { "text": "we don't have the figures to really know how effective our
