1:50:01
...then you must know when to reel it in.
1:50:04
About the other day, I didn't mean....
1:50:07
Yes, you did.
1:50:09
I apologize, and...
1:50:11
...thank you.
1:50:13
I accept.
1:50:22
Which brings us to our
Advanced Products Group.
1:50:25
Tom Sanders heads our
manufacturing department.
1:50:28
Tom, can you come up here...
1:50:29
...and review for us the revolutionary
new product we call Arcamax?
1:50:42
Thank you, Meredith.
1:50:46
Arcamax is our own stand-alone
CD-ROM drive player.
1:50:50
Now, for a CD-ROM drive to be effective,
it must be portable...
1:50:54
...it has to be fast.
1:50:56
Arcamax is twice as fast as any
CD-ROM drive in the world today.
1:51:01
We've had our problems,
but we are solving them.
1:51:04
And were the problems with the design?
1:51:07
No, there are fabrication problems
involving the production line.
1:51:11
What sort of problems?
1:51:13
For example, we should be using
automatic chip installers to lock...
1:51:17
...the control chip on.
1:51:19
The Malaysians have been
doing it by hand...
1:51:22
...jamming the chips in with their thumbs.
1:51:24
And the quality of the air is dirty.
1:51:27
We should use level 7 air handlers,
we're using level 5.
1:51:31
And we're ordering our components,
1:51:33
Like hinge rods and clips,
not from our Singapore supplier...
1:51:38
...but from someone who's a lot
cheaper but also less reliable.
1:51:42
I'm confused. You set up this line.
You didn't anticipate these problems?
1:51:47
The line was changed.
The specifications were altered.
1:51:52
How is that possible? We know
you to be a competent manager.
1:51:57
You should know.
You ordered the changes.
