Newcap stated that it had since made substantial investments to upgrade the station, corrected all the CTD [Canadian talent development] deficiencies and now provided significant community news and services, where before they were virtually non-existent. It also stated that the market remained a profitable market and had weathered the recession better than many other markets. Finally, Newcap argued that it had made efforts to improve the financial situation of the station by modifying programming within the parameters of its specialty condition of licence but had been unable to achieve profitability in the highly competitive Winnipeg radio market.

Newcap dit qu'après avoir investi des sommes considérables pour améliorer la station et rembourser les contributions manquantes au DTC [développement de talents canadiens], elle fournit actuellement un volume important de nouvelles et de services à une communauté dont elle était auparavant à peu près absente. Newcap confirme que ce marché demeure rentable après avoir résisté mieux que d'autres à la récession. Enfin, Newcap a fait valoir qu'elle a fait des efforts en vue d'améliorer la situation financière de la station en modifiant sa programmation, à l'intérieur des limites de sa condition de licence spécialisée, mais qu'elle n'a pu atteindre la rentabilité dans le marché radiophonique très compétitif de Winnipeg.

  • Mining Operations
OBS

The mining industry is continually looking for ways to automate and mechanize its operations. This presents a great challenge for narrow-vein operations. The actual mining parameters and existing mechanized equipment make profitability difficult to achieve. It is clear that the future of narrow-vein mines depends on the development of innovative extraction methods and equipment.

OBS

L'industrie minière cherche à automatiser et à mécaniser ses opérations, ce qui représente un défi de taille pour l'exploitation des gisements filoniens. La rentabilité est difficile à atteindre en raison des paramètres d'exploitation et des équipements mécanisés actuels. Il est clair que l'avenir de ces mines nécessite la mise au point de méthodes d'extraction et d'équipements novateurs.

Subject field(s)
  • Industrial Design
OBS

Strategic plans and tactical design actions. In the hierarchy of concepts for a company's growth and progress, policies lead to specific goals. Each goal has several measurable objectives.... To attain each objective there must be one or more strategies, or methods of attack to accomplish all facets of the objective.... Consider this example : a company's goal is to improve its long-term profitability from near zero to plus 10%. In order to do this... one [objective] could be to increase profit margins on existing products by 15% or more. Strategies to achieve that objective include : increase prices, find new markets where a higher price can be obtained....

French

Domaine(s)
  • Dessin industriel
CONT

[Les] études stratégiques (...) sont un élément du management des projets. (...) Dans un contexte industriel, le lancement d'un produit nouveau ne constitue jamais une fin en soi. Il doit répondre à un besoin de l'entreprise, donc à un besoin économique. Ce besoin peut éventuellement être satisfait par des moyens moins contraignants que le développement de produit nouveau. (...) C'est le but des études stratégiques [de faciliter le choix du moyen à retenir.]
