The supplied diagram reveals the steps in manufacturing colour full plastic paper clips in a small factory.
Overall, there are five steps in this process. It begins with molten plastic and finishes with packing and dispatch.
To begin with, molten plastic is poured into three different moulds depending on the colour required; the colours are red, blue and yellow. Once these clips emerge from the moulds a quality control machine checks them for strength. Unsatisfactory clips are rejected.
In the third stage, the clips are stored by hand into two groups, mixed and single Colours. When this stage is complete the groups are checked a second time to ensure that the colour mixtures are divided correctly into single Colours and mixed colour batches. Finally, the clips are packed and dispatched to the markets.
