商務(wù)對話:項目的優(yōu)勢和劣勢 [ 2006-12-29 10:22 ]
一個大公司的主管人員正在參加一個商業(yè)研討會。在會間休息時,他們一起討論在不同地區(qū)實施項目的優(yōu)勢和劣勢。
Dale: I really envy your milestones over the last few years, Don. In your
presentation, I noticed the great results you've obtained in region D. We've had
some trouble
there. 我真的很羨慕你在過去幾年中所建立的豐功偉績。在你的發(fā)言中,我注意到你在D區(qū)取得了巨大的成績。我們在那里遇到了一些麻煩。
Don: How so? 怎么會這樣?
Dale: We've had problems on delivery dates for materials. Often, they're not
on time. Looks like we'll have to change
suppliers. 我們在原材料的交貨時間上有一些麻煩。他們經(jīng)常不準(zhǔn)時交貨??磥砦覀兊脫Q個供應(yīng)商了。
Marshall: In my region, delivery is not a problem, but we're often behind
schedule. If we hadn't extended the drop-dead date on a couple of projects, the
situation would be even
worse. 在我管轄的區(qū)域,交貨不是問題,但是我們常常延期工期。如果我們不是延長了一些項目的交付期限,情況會更糟。
Don: What's going wrong? 那是什么出了問題?
Marshall: We think it's an employee problem. We can't seem to get a good
completion status from them, so that makes it difficult to track a project.
We're going to start some job training in this area soon, so that should improve
matters. 我想是員工的問題。無法從他們那里得到項目完工情況,因此想要監(jiān)控整個工程很難。我們將在那個區(qū)域開展一些培訓(xùn)工作,這樣會使情況有所改善。
Don: I hope you're right. Looks like the seminar's set to continue, and I'm
presenting soon, so I'll catch you gentlemen
later. 希望如此。好像研討會要開始了,我馬上要發(fā)言了,一會再和你們聊。
