Interview: Gomez
Larry: Interview
Saly: dkolerkfD
Eliz: Mr. Gomez, why was training such a concern?
Gomez: Well, with high-tech equipment, training is always a major worry.
Uh, robots have to be operated properly or they’ll break down.
If that happens, repairs will delay production.
Any delay in production is very expensive.
Eliz: So that’s why you asked about technical advisors?
Gomez: Yes, I wanted to make sure that someone would be available to train our workers.
Eliz: Mr. Gomez, thank you for talking to me today.
Gomez: I enjoyed it.
Eliz: Let’s take a short break.
