Previously, Autoco designed all of its cars itself and then contracted with specialized parts suppliers to build parts according to its specifications. Now it plans to include its suppliers in designing the parts they are to build. Since many parts suppliers have more designers with specialized experience than Autoco has, Autoco expects this shift to reduce the overall time and cost of the design of its next new car.

Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports Autoco's expectation?


When suppliers provide their own designs, Autoco often needs to modify its overall design.

In order to provide designs for Autoco, several of the parts suppliers will have to add to their existing staffs of designers.

Parts and services provided by outside suppliers account for more than 50 percent of Autoco's total costs.

When suppliers built parts according to specifications provided by Autoco, the suppliers competed to win contracts.

Most of Autoco's suppliers have on hand a wide range of previously prepared parts designs that can readily be modified for a new car.

考题讲解

情景：Autoco以前是自己设计车，然后找供应商来造车。现在，它们打算让自己的供应商加入进设计环节中，这样可以减少总体时间和设计成本。

推理：显然，整个题目都在描述一个方案以及影响，因此本题为方案推理。
目标：减少总体时间和设计成本
方案：让自己的供应商加入进设计环节中

选题方式：方案推理有三个评估方向，简而言之，即，答案选项一定和方案的内容相关。

选项分析：

A选项：当供应商提供自己的设计时，Autoco经常需要改变自己的总设计。如果本选项成立，则Autoco的这个方案会给自己带来更多的成本，显然可以削弱推理文段，属于CQ1：方案的可行性问题。

B选项：为了给Autoco提供设计，有些供应商不得不让自己已有的员工做些设计的工作。同样地，本选项给方案提供了额外的难度，可以削弱推理文段。

C选项：外部供应商提供的零件和服务占据了超过Autoco50%的成本。外部供应商占据的成本和方案毫无关系。

D选项：当供应商们根据Autoco提供的具体细节建造了零件后，它们会争先恐后的争取赢得合同。本选项没有谈及任何关于Autoco让自己的供应商加入进设计环节中的信息。

E选项：Correct. 大部分的Autoco的供应商在手边有很多之前的设计，这些设计很容易被改进从而变成一个新车的设计。显然地，本选项建立了方案和目标之间的联系，属于CQ1：方案的可行性问题。
