We'll go over what you did with the aim of helping you improve your next presentation. 00:01:07,680 Sounds good. 00:01:09,240 Now, the topic was the just-in-time or JIT supply system used by a lot of manufacturers first in Japan and then in the West, I think. 00:01:20,060 Yes, but actually one thing I should have made clearer and talked about was the fact that the Americans actually pioneered the idea of just in time, though it wasn't called that. Henry Ford and his cars, in fact, at the turn of the twentieth century. And later, a big US supermarket chain used it, and this was where Toyota in Japan got the idea for its car making. 00:01:43,620 Yes, that would have been a good addition. Uh, now, before we go any further, I think I would suggest that you should have stopped and clearly defined just in time for your seminar colleagues. You said its aim was to reduce waste, and you mentioned that classic business theory assumes that stock or inventory of parts are counted as assets, but just in time sees them as unnecessary waste. But you never told us that JIT simply means waiting until the last moment to order new supplies as you need them. 00:02:17,740 Yes, you're right. I should have done that. 00:02:21,280 Now, you talked a bit about standardizing parts as a way of streamlining JIT. Where did you get your data from? 00:02:28,840 Well, I tried an internet website on the subject, which is called the Lean Clearinghouse, but it was too technical for me. 00:02:35,440 Mm-hmm. 00:02:36,000 So in the end, I got my data from a textbook called Learning from Toyota. I found some journal articles too, but they didn't seem very useful. 00:02:45,440 Yes. Well, there is a US government report on it I've seen. I'll get a copy for you. 00:02:51,220 Great. I look forward to reading through it. 00:02:54,560 And while you're at it, you might want to find out about cases where JIT might not be suitable, and that's in service industries like tourism or healthcare, where customers are paying for something that they can't actually see or count. Although JIT is fashionable today, some people would say it hasn't proved so successful in the service sector as it has with the manufacturing of goods that can be quantified. 00:03:20,340 That would be interesting. I'll see what I can find out. 00:03:23,340 Mm-hmm. 00:03:27,140 Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions twenty-five to thirty. 00:04:05,040 Now listen and answer questions twenty-five to thirty. 00:04:13,560 Now, unless you have any more questions, uh, let's turn to a critique of the technical aspects of the presentation. I'm afraid I'll emphasize the things I think you might want to work on. 00:04:24,360 Hmm. 00:04:24,920 It was a good talk, but with a little work, your next presentation should be excellent. 00:04:30,300 Fine. That would be helpful. Actually, I wasn't happy with my delivery. I sometimes seemed to talk fast and sometimes slow. I was on edge, I guess. 00:04:40,660 Yes, you were. And as well as that, your purpose wasn't very specific. In future, you need to lay out exactly what you're going to cover and why. Make it clear and concise and not so general. 00:04:55,660 And what about my transitions from one section to the next? 00:04:59,700 Well, you didn't link the sections, did you? You went too quickly from one to the next. It was all just too abrupt. 00:05:07,300 Okay. I'll try to improve that. 00:05:09,780 Now, your PowerPoint visuals were lovely, but sometimes I got the feeling that nice as they were as pictures, they didn't have much to do with what you were talking about. Right? 00:05:21,140 You're right. And you know, another thing I could see from the other students' reactions, they just didn't understand some of the vocabulary I was using. 00:05:29,560 Mm, good point. Well, remember, your audience were laymen, mostly without knowledge of JIT. So you need to simplify and try to put things in everyday English. 00:05:41,200 I never seem to do that. 00:05:43,830 And lastly, I'll just mention your body language. 00:05:47,820 You didn't use gestures, and you just stood straight without any animation. It didn't make you seem very interested in the subject. 00:05:56,380 I know. Even though I really do like the subject. Sorry. 00:06:01,240 Well, despite all this, I enjoyed your presentation, and I could see you put lots of work into it. I look forward to an even better presentation from you next time. 00:06:10,780 Well, thanks for your help. 00:06:15,960 That is the end of part three. 00:06:18,960 You now have thirty seconds to check your answers to part three. ## 题目与答案 ### 21. 21 Ron suggests that in his presentation he should have 21 Ron suggests that in his presentation he should have - given credit to the originators of the JIT idea - discussed why the Japanese adopted the JIT idea - explained how supermarkets used the JIT idea **答案**：given credit to the originators of the JIT idea 原文定位：Yes, but actually one thing I should have made clearer and talked about was the fact that the Americans actually pioneered the idea of just in time, though it wasn't called that.
