试题答案：Since we carried out the series of reforms six months ago，our cost has been reduced by more than 25%．Of all the five costreducing strategies we have tried．two of them have proven the most effective．The first and most effective one was outsourcing packaging．Our old packaging department used to take up at least 10% of our work space，labour and management resource．But now，with about the same cost as keeping our own packaging team，we have outsourced this job to a packaging company that gives a more professional service，and above all，a considerable saving of space，man power and brain power． Setting up our own delivery fleet was the second most successful experiment，because the transportation agent we used was over-charging．Now we have hired and trained plenty of low-paid temporary workers for less than half of the commission fee we used to pay，since delivering fabrics does not need specialised knowledge or skills，and it is not necessary to keep a full-time delivery team．We have re scheduled the delivery times of different workshops so that we can call in only the right number of delivery men for the right amount of work according to the need． The only hindrance we encountered was that some of our workshops objected to the new delivery time slots assigned to them．They all had good reasons，so we sealed this problem by offering them two more days of paid annual leave． 答案解析：暂无解析 document.getElementById("warp").style.display="none"; document.getElementById("content").style.display="block"; 查看试题解析出处>>
