ExercisesAssemblySteve: We're going to have to install some new equipment which will help us speed up assembly.Thomas: I didn't realise we were going to add assembly to our duties. Steve: Well, in the past we've outsourced. However, Phillip, who is responsible for the expansion, decided we needed to do a limited amount of assembly, too. Steve: Of course not. We're just going to be taking care of some of the furniture assembly. Steve: Products that are improperly assembled account for more than 50% of all returns in certain product categories. Steve: As a matter of fact, it's so problematic that we've decided we need to hire some workers whose only responsibility will be to assemble according to manufacturer's specifications.
