;;Task 1 As the president of a machine company, you may experience the following situations. Match each situation with its corresponding picture.;Task 2 The following things are what you usually does for operational and technical management. Arrange them in the order of time and explain.;Task 1 Before reading the passage, try to answer the questions about PDM system.;PDM System and Mold Design; Distinguish between standard and custom parts In the course of developing molds, mold makers accumulate a range of standard parts, which they purchase from suppliers, and custom parts, which are unique and require additional work. However, they want to avoid using a custom part when a standard part will do the job. By using a PDM system, mold makers can use item numbers to distinguish between standard and custom parts, and use that information to maximize their use of more cost-effective, standardized parts.; Facilitate design reuse, innovation and adaptation Reusing existing designs and adapting them for new applications is far preferable to starting every mold development project with a blank slate. A PDM system can help mold designers find existing mold designs that are similar to the project at hand, which they can then easily adapt for new jobs, saving time while accelerating estimating and quoting functions.;An integrated PDM system can automatically update BOM (bills of materials) information as mold revisions are made. With an integrated PDM system you can search for and find mold components quickly and easily using a wide range of different properties. In addition to facilitating design reuse, a PDM system encourages innovation because it allows designers to explore what-if scenarios, secure in the knowledge that they can easily roll back to previous versions if a particular idea does not pan out.; Automate workflows By creating a foundation for more effective design data management, PDM systems can actually enable mold makers t
