Flight attendants, who start as low as $ 12,000 per year, are paid meagerly. No question. But for all the rhetoric stirred by last month's strike against American Airlines, few have dared to breathe perhaps the key question—a 60-year-old question. Are flight attendants indispensable guardians of passengers' safety and well-being? Or, are they flying waitresses (85% are women) and waiters who are becoming less important to passengers willing to sacrifice frills for cheap fares? Fright attendants find the second suggestion repugnant. 'We're very highly trained in first aid and CPR,' says Wendy Palmer, an American Air fines flight attendant based in Nashville, 'Our goal is to evacuate an airplane in a minute or less. That's what we're there for. In the meantime, we do serve drinks and food. ' 'But maybe the time has come to let the free market determine if passengers value flight attendants enough to pay for them,' says Thomas Moore, senior fellow at the Hoover Institution. Customers willing, there's no reason airlines can't hand out sandwiches and soft drinks as passengers board. Then they could be on their way with, perhaps, one safety expert on board. 'I'd suspect some people would be willing to pay dirt-cheap fares,' says Bill Winter, spokesman for the Libertarian Party, an opponent of government regulation, 'Other (airlines) would go in the opposite direction and there would be three attendants for each flier. ' Already millions of passengers have shown an eagerness to sacrifice service for lower fares. Southwest Airlines, which doesn't offer meals or assigned seating, has been the fastest-growing and most profitable airline in the industry. Southwest never staffs a jet with more attendants than the Federal Aviation Administration requires. The FAA requires at least one flight attendant for every 50 seats. A 122-seat Boeing 737 must have three flight attendants even if it's flying only a few passengers. Union contracts often require more. Among its demands, American Airlines wants the option of staffing its jets at the FAA minimum. No other form. of transportation falls under such rigid government control. Passengers aboard Amtrak and Greyhound aren't even required to wear seat belts. But climb aboard a Boeing 757, and you not only have to be strapped in, but four specialists are there to supervise a rare evacuation. The National Safety Council estimates that 1 in 2.2 million people are killed in airline crashes each year. There are about 90,000 airline flight attendants employed by U. S. carriers. They cost the airlines $ 2.7 billion a year, assuming they average $ 30,000 per year in salary and benefits. If they save 100 lives per year, each life costs $ 27 million. Dee Maki, National president of the Association of Flight Attendants, says 100 saved lives is a gross underestimate. No one tracks the actual number, but Maki says more than 100 heart-attack victims are saved each year by attendants. Maybe one on-board attendant is all that's needed for safety, says Moore, an opponent of government regulation. 'I don't know. But the FAA undoubtedly makes the wrong decision. Government always makes the wrong decision because they don't have the right information. John Adams, former vice president of human resources for Continental Airlines, doubts that deaths would increase much if the number of flight attendants were cut in half. 'Flying is very safe. It's much safer than riding a bus or a train,' he says. No one doubts that flight attendants have a tough job. They make about 20% what pilots make and often less than baggage handlers. Stuck in a metal tube for hours with cramped passengers battling nicotine fits, they are constantly being driven to go the extra mile for customer service. They have to worry about policies concerning theft wei

问答题

S先生的决策困惑HL公司新任采购主管S先生，审查了公司主要原料之一铝管材的采购策略及做法之后，打算制定出一项有助于提高公司竞争力的采购策略。该公司专门按顾客特定需要进行热传送系统的设计与制造，且技术水平领先。而且提供的热传送系统适用于许多行业，如炼钢厂、造纸厂和发电厂等。具体产品有：供热与散热线圈、水力发电冷却器和变压冷却器。该公司的宗旨是“在全世界范围内为工业热能系统提供创新性工程解决方法和高质量的设备”。它向加拿大、墨西哥及其他国家的出口量超过总销量的40%。换热器或热传送装置对保持操作环境在某一特定的温度起着决定性作用。在传送过程中，液体流经一系列管子后冷却下来。接着这些液体流回到发电机，又重复上一过程。空气制冷液体冷却器是由冷却管、用来产生气流的扇式保温箱和支架构成。每一个换热传送系统都是按顾客需求设计的。工程部门列出需要的物料名称，制定出初步的物料单，然后连同成本和采购方面的情况一起提交给销售部，供洽谈售货合同时使用。一旦售货合同商定，完备的物料单即可确定下来。物料在需要时采购。大多数物料要求的交货周期为4～6周。没有产成品库存，所有产品均是按订单生产。该公司没有对诸如发动机和风机这样的部件进行库存（需要时才采购）。但对于重要物品，该公司拥有多家供应商。在上一年1600万美元的销售额中，原料及部件成本大约占了600万美元。通常采购的铝管材多达15种，它们有不同的壁厚和直径，其中有5种铝管材最常见。铝管材约占该公司全年原材料及部件采购额的35%。由于欧洲的价格较低，前任采购主管从欧洲一家厂商那里采购了约40%的铝管材，其余的由北美两家供应商提供。考虑到运输费用，所有从欧洲的购货均采用50英尺的集装箱来运送。时间要耗费一个或两个月以上。有时甚至长达三个月以上。在前任采购主管看来，尽管有运货成本和不确定性这两个不利因素，但欧洲供应商提供的FOB（船上交货）产地价格1.2美元磅与北美的1.5美元磅价格相比，还是极具吸引力的。由于距离的原因，欧洲供应商的提前期为6～8周，而北美供应商的提前期为2～3周。当然，也可以考虑从批发商那里采购铝管材。他们把管材切割成段，也可以满足公司所需要的确切的总重量。由于管材的质量和清洁度直接关系到翅片的性能，所以该公司只能使用某些特定规格的铝材。前任采购主管认为，保持三家供应商就能确保供货并使他们保持警觉。这三家供应商都不知道该公司每年铝管材的总需要量为250000吨。公司持有的铝管材库存量为300万美元，铝管材被放在厂内三个大的货架上、厂内空地上，甚至放在员工的停车场。而公司库存储存成本通常占采购价格的25%。该公司要求S先生做到以下几点：如果可能的话完全取消库存；降低采购价格；在日趋激烈的市场竞争中坚持满足顾客的交货要求。S先生想知道应该实施什么计划和战略才能完成自己的职责。因为他刚上任，还得了解公司内工程、采购、运作和销售这些部门是如何相互配合的。案例分析要求：简述企业战略的概念和层次。
