    Hi John!

    T co makes meat pies which are sold through supermarkets. The supermarkets have high bargaining power and will see to drive down the price it charges. In order to maintain their profit margin, T co is seeking to reduce costs.

    1. ” If T co set the standard at an attainable level, employees on the production line will not need to improve their performance to meet the standard.

    2. Could you explain how this statement is correct about T co?

    Thanks.

    An attainable level is a level that they could normally be expected to work to (without having to improve and work faster).
