Alright everyone, thanks for joining this brainstorming session. Our goal today is to really dig into our current operational process and identify bottlenecks and areas for improvement. Let's start with what you've observed as the biggest pain points.

第 2 轮
From my perspective in customer service, the handoff between sales and order fulfillment is often where things get delayed. We frequently have to chase down details that should have been clear from the start.
English
从我客户服务的角度来看，销售和订单履行之间的交接常常是导致延误的地方。我们经常不得不追查那些从一开始就应该很清楚的细节。

Michael
第 3 轮
I second that, Sarah. On the fulfillment side, we spend too much time on manual data entry because the initial input from sales isn't consistently formatted. It leads to errors and rework.
English
我同意，莎拉。在履行方面，我们花费太多时间进行手动数据录入，因为销售的初始输入格式不一致。这导致错误和返工。

Lisa
第 4 轮
That's a good point, Michael. Perhaps we need to standardize the sales order form or implement an automated system for data transfer. Has anyone looked into that possibility?
English
迈克尔说得好。也许我们需要规范销售订单表格，或者实施一个自动化系统来传输数据。有没有人研究过那种可能性？

第 5 轮
We've discussed it, Lisa, but haven't taken concrete steps. Let's note it down as a potential solution. What about compliance? Are there any redundant checks or approval stages we can streamline?
English
我们讨论过，丽莎，但还没有采取具体措施。我们把它记下来作为潜在的解决方案。合规性方面呢？有没有我们可以简化的冗余检查或审批阶段？
中文翻译
👨
James
第 6 轮
In finance, we've noticed duplicated verification steps. After an order is confirmed by fulfillment, it goes through a similar verification in our department. We could likely combine those.
English
在财务部，我们发现了一些重复的核实步骤。订单被履行部门确认后，我们部门会进行类似的核实。我们很可能可以合并这些步骤。
中文翻译
👩
Sarah
第 7 轮
Yes, that's definitely a time-sink. And speaking of approvals, the multi-level approval for minor changes sometimes causes significant delays for clients. Could we empower frontline staff with more delegated authority for routine tasks?
English
是的，那确实很耗时。说到审批，小改动的多级审批有时会给客户造成很大的延误。我们能否赋予一线员工更多日常任务的授权？

That's an interesting idea, Sarah. It aligns with empowering our teams. I think we have a solid list of areas to focus on. For our next meeting, let's come back with a few specific proposals for each of these points. Great input, everyone.
English
莎拉，这是一个有趣的想法。它与赋能我们的团队是一致的。我认为我们有一份可以重点关注的领域清单。对于我们的下次会议，让我们针对这些要点各自提出一些具体的建议。大家的意见都很好。
