Time equals money, and you just have to look at the amount of time we spend—
时间就是金钱,你需要关注我们花了多长时间—
well, waste—travelling from place to place to realise that this is costing us too much.
嗯,浪费了多少时间—在行程上,才能意识到这太费时了。
We're duplicating a lot of services and systems, which we wouldn't have to do if we streamlined our offices.
我们重复了太多的服务和体系,如果我们让办公室合理化的话,我们就不必如此。
Operating from one location instead of four would lead to greater control, considerable reduction in costs and increased efficiency. Staff would appreciate it, too.
在一个地点而非四个地点进行操作将更好管控、成本减少了、效率增加了。员工们也会喜欢。
I think that there's a danger—we're over-diversified and, instead of looking at our production processes and ways of automating them even further,
我认为存在风险—我们过度多样化并且,我们没有更进一步关注我们的生产进程和自动操作方式,
what we should be doing is targeting our most successful lines and focusing on them, even if it means abandoning some lines altogether.
我们要做的是定位我们最成功的生产线并专注于它们,即便这意味着放弃其他生产线。
What I'm talking about is specialisation—concentrate on what we know we do well and what we know we will make money. And that'll bring down costs, too.
我所谈论的是专业化—专注我们擅长的以及能挣钱的。这样也将降低成本。
