Quality Standards Quality Control The example below shows a production line that makes high quality boomerangs. These are 'batch' produced which means, in this case, that one hundred boomerangs are made as a batch and then sent to the customer. Quality control procedures are in place which means that after every stage of making a Quality Control Officer checks the standard of the work. Any substandard work is recycled or thrown away.

Working Triangle GCSE Revision Working Triangles The kitchen work triangle is a concept used to determine efficient kitchen layouts. The primary tasks in a home kitchen are carried out between the cook top, the sink and the refrigerator. These three points and the imaginary lines between them, make up what kitchen experts call the work triangle. The idea is that when these three elements are in close (but not too close) proximity to one other, the kitchen will be easy and efficient to use, cutting down on wasted steps.

Standard Forms GCSE Revision Materials, ranging from woods and steels to plastics, are supplied in standard sizes. Designers / architects generally start with standard widths, lengths and depths etc... and develop their plans from the materials that are available. As materials are supplied in standard sizes, ordering is easier, as sizes are published in catalogues or on company internet websites. They can be transported and handled more easily than raw materials. Standard forms and sizes are cheaper than special sizes, because they are processed in large quantities. Designers use readily available standard stock sizes when designing products. Standard forms and sizes are the same in most countries - an international standard.

Patents & Copyright GCSE Revision Patent Copyright A patent protects a person or company that invents something new. For instance, if you were to invent a new type of pen you should patent your design. This should prevent anyone or another company from stealing your idea, manufacturing it and making money for themselves. A patent protects your design for the first five years and them you must apply annually for the next fifteen years (twenty years in total). Copyright A website designer spends months developing an educational website. The site includes impressive animations, graphics and lots of information for people to use. However, a copyright statement says that the work can be printed out and used BUT it must not be altered in anyway. Copyright infringement is the legal term used when someone or a company breaks the law by using the work belonging to someone else, without permission.
