that there are clear opportunities to drive up to 20 % cost savings using best practice that's in play now
5
but people are struggling to go for the fully productized design this these sophisticated aligned logistics scheme
6
and this optimising materials in order to deliver all of the components of that that lead to that 20 % cost saving.
7
I think the other thing is we identified this 20 % number as what can be achieved now.
8
That also shouldn't be the barrier of what is achievable and if you start leveraging more vertical integration,
9
more scale and higher levels of automation both in design and the processes of manufacture themselves,
10
you should be able to deliver cost savings significantly greater than that as well.
11
However there is also the case that if you don't get these things right

什麼是跟讀法？
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
