GCSE+EP+-+Batch+Production+Practical

Your task today is to manufacture 30 Easter cards and envelopes which are identical. They are hand crafted and of high quality. To be sold in the staff room with the money being donated to one of the school charities. You are going to work as a production team. You will each be given individual tasks that you must be perfom with care and attention.
 * Batch Production - A practical example**

Here is an example of the finished card. The idea for this project comes from the following website: @http://www.cricutcardprojects.com/cricut-card-kits/2010-easter-card-making-kit/ I have adapted the card slightly to demonstrate batch production processes and manufacturing. You will be provided with all the materials and equipment required for the processes. You will be given an envelope with your job description. You must observe health and safety when working in the workshop and using the equipment. You must wear aprons and tie your hair back.

Below is an example of the component parts you will be given. And the video gives you a demonstration of how this company produces its packs of materials. media type="youtube" key="4MYrCwbilAk?fs=1" height="390" width="480"

At the beginning of the lesson you will each be given an envelope, which gives you the following information: To help you understand the tasks involved with the assembly of the card here is a video from the Cricut Card Projects website - watch it before the lesson - but remember that the card we are making has been modified, and some of you have tasks not included in the video. E.g. Making envelopes.
 * 1) Job Title
 * 2) Job description - outlining what your task will be.
