peer agreement (net): +1| 絶対死守件数 absolute minimum [requirement] Explanation: 死守 means "defend to the death" Since they're talking about planning ahead, I gather that they're talking about having enough personnel on hand to ensure avoidance of breakdown. Just guessing! |

peer agreement (net): +1| 絶対死守件数 baseline, 'do-or-die' minimum target Explanation: Just a couple of other alternatives. As Maynard says, 死守 means 'defend to the death,' or 'defend at all costs/no matter what,' etc... 'Do-or-die,' albeit a bit dramatic perhaps, may convey this sentiment a little more... Without further context, I would imagine this to be an outbound call center, where calls are initiated by the CC operators (soliciting sales, charity donations, etc.). So I would guess that, once they have forecast their minimum target figures for the following month, they have to do whatever it takes to achieve their target number of calls. HTHAL |
