在這個講求效率的時代裡,什麼都要「快」。餐廳追求出餐速度和翻桌率,電商追求出貨速度和周轉率,製造業當然也不例外要追求生產速度和良率來實現資本支出所產生收益的最大化。從十幾年前就開始出現的機器人將取代人力的說法雖然還沒真正實現,但特定類型的工廠已經很大程度的自動化,「關燈工廠」、「黑暗工廠」正是趨勢。 今天製造業的非營利組織 SME 的資深編輯 Bruce 就要來告訴我們什麼是「關燈工廠」、它發展的目的以及應用。 **製造業的非營利組織 SME 的網站:https://bit.ly/2ZyZ3al **收聽 Bruce 的 Podcast Advanced Manufacturing Now: https://bit.ly/2XVLsJg **訪談片段在 (03:23 - 31:41) **用 Descript 來線上聽這次的訪談,會自動標示講到哪邊還可以調整語速喔!https://bit.ly/3zJ3JqJ ---- 實用單字和片語: To shave off (動詞片語) 減少某樣東西的數量 The company shaved off two dollars from the cost of producing each unit which allowed them to finally turn a profit.

全球性半導體短缺 (The Global Semiconductor Shortage) - 訪談專家:Jon Y
半導體是電子產品裡晶片的主要原料,因此半導體的供應和高科技產業息息相關。 因為疫情的關係,讓亞洲為主的半導體供應鏈產能下降,而無法供滿足經濟復甦過程中增加的半導體需求。美國也開始正視半導體過度仰賴外國供應鏈的現象,表示有可能會補貼本土半導體業者增加產能。 半導體短缺的現象會持續嗎?持續多久? 今天亞洲財經 YouTube 頻道 Asianometry 的 YouTuber Jon Y 就要來和我們分享半導體領域的常見的術語、全球半導體短缺的原因,還有半導體產業可能的未來趨勢。 **Jon 的亞洲財經 YouTube 頻道 Asianometry:https://bit.ly/3EqgLNt **訪談片段在 (04:32 - 19:52) **用 Descript 來線上聽這次的訪談,會自動標示講到哪邊還可以調整語速喔!https://bit.ly/3nwIbLA ---- 實用單字和片語: To boil down to something (動詞片語) 歸結於 The entrepreneur's success can be boiled down to one thing: his persistence.

通貨膨脹 (Inflation) - 訪談專家:Greg Levin
美國過去一年多實施的經濟政策以及解封之後的經濟復甦,不意外的推升了美國的通貨膨脹率。美國聯準會主席 Powell 在八月的演說也提到今年可能開始縮減購債,同時表示這波通膨只是暫時,且目前不會升息。 通貨膨脹指的是一種貨幣的購買力在一段時間內下降的現象,一般人能夠感受到的結果就是東西變貴了。為了避免通膨失控造成物價飛漲,政府通常會嚴密的監控通膨率。 今天的來賓 Greg 目前是全職投資人以及金融部落客,他要來告訴我們通膨的成因有哪些、疫情是如何造成通膨,還有政府會利用哪些方法來控制通膨率。 **Greg 的金融部落格 BubbleCatcher:https://bubblecatcher.substack.com **Greg 和我們聊迷因股票:https://apple.co/3BssYi9 **訪談片段在 (04:44 - 21:57) **用 Descript 來線上聽這次的訪談,會自動標示講到哪邊還可以調整語速喔! https://bit.ly/2WEx0Fr ---- 實用單字和片語: Du jour 當下很受歡迎的東西 Inflation after COVID has had significant impact on everyone’s life, and that's why it is the topic du jour.
