Increasing efficiency at Olympic Foods Citing facts drawn from the color-film prcessing industry that indicate a downward trend in the costs of film processing over a 14-year period ,the author argue that Olympic Food will likewise be able to minimize costs and thus maximize profits in the future.In support of this conclusion the anthor cites the general principle that”as organizations learn how to do things better,they become more efficient”The principle,coupled with the fact that Olympic Foods has had 25 years of experience in the food prcessing industry leads to the author’s rosy prediction.This argument is unconvincing because it suffers from two critical flaws. First,the author’s forecast of minimal costs and maximum profits rests on the gratuitous assumption that Olympic Foods’”long experience”has taught it how to do things betters.There is ,however,no guarantee that this is the case,nor does the anthor cite any evidence to support this assumptions.Just as likely,Olympic Foods has learned nothing from its 25 years in the food-processing business.Lacking this assumption,the expectation of increased efficiency is entirely unfounded, Second,it is highly doubtful that the fact drawn from the color-film prcessing industy are applicable to the food precessing industry.Differences between the two industries clearly outweigh the similarities,thus making the analogy highly suspect.For example,problems of spoilage,contamination,and timely transportation all affect the food industry but are virtually abusent in the film-processing industry.Problems such as these might present insurmountable obstacles that prevent loweing food-precessing costs in the future. As it stands the author’s argument is not compelling.To strengthern the conclusion that Olympic Food will enjoy minimal costs and maximum profits in the future,the author would have to provide evidence that the company has learned how to do things better as a result of its 25 years of experience,Supporting examples d
