Making more than one product
 

When you see a T-shirt, puppet or hat in the
shops, you usual see more than one of the same
product. This because these items have been made
in a factory where they make a lot of same
product, this is called Mass production. For
example- In a factory producing puppets, each
puppet will be made in stages. At each stage a
person has a different job to do, this is called
a Production line.
 
Bobs job is to pin the patterns to the fabric
and cut them out. He then passes them to Clare.
Clares job is to sew the eyes and all the other
features onto the front and back
Janes job is to sew the front and the back
together ready to be sold.

The quality controller

When producing a product in large quantities it
is very easy to make mistakes!!!!! In a factory
a person is employed to make sure that the
quality of the product is a high standard. These
checks are made when the product is finished and
before it is sent to the shops. If the product
is a poor quality it is either thrown away or
sent back to be corrected. This costs the factory
extra time and money.
