7. INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION Part I
SECTION A 1. Have you ever visited a factory? Did you find out anything interesting there?
2. Read the following text. What is the name of the company?
A FACTORY TOUR
1. “Good morning. I’d like to start by welcoming you and your teacher to FK Industries.
2. The purpose of today’s visit is to show you our new CAM – or CNC – system. As I expect you all know, CAM means ‘Computer Assisted Manufacturing’ and CNC is ‘Computer Numerical Control’. Before I show you that system, I’ll just remind you what the two earlier stages in the process are: one, developing the design and two, the prototype model. When we’ve completed these two stages, the next step is to start making the items so we can start selling them.
3. Our CNC system takes the information from the CAD (Computer Assisted Design) system and gives it to the lathes in the factory. The system can be used for other types of machines but we use lathes so that is what you’ll see today.
4. Before we start our tour of the factory, I’ll tell you what I think the main advantages of CNC are: human error is reduced, the machines always work in the best way because they adjust their settings automatically and, of course, every component produced is identical. Maybe you’ll think of some more advantages as we walk through the factory.
5. As we walk through the factory, please stay with the group and walk behind the yellow lines on the floors. The tour takes about thirty minutes and there will be time for questions at the end of the tour. So, if you’ll follow me, we’ll start.”

SECTION B 1. Read the text “The Mini Story”. The three paragraphs are from the newspaper article and one is from a fashion magazine. Which one?
THE MINI STORY
A. There are 2,500 employees at the plant and working environment is good. The car assembly line is designed ergonomically to be easy to use and comfortable for the operators. For example, the car is raised, lowered, and turned through 90 degrees so the workers can do their jobs comfortably and easily. Old-fashioned, noisy, compressed-air tools have been replaced with quieter and more accurate electric tools.
B. The first Mini was first made in 1959 and since then over five million people have owned one. BMW, a German car manufacturer, now owns the Mini and the newest model is being manufactured at an advanced production system in Oxford, England.
C. During the 1990s approximately £500 million was spent to change an old Oxford car factory into a state-of-the-art manufacturing plant. The Oxford plant now produces around 100,000 Minis a year.
D. In Britain in the 1960s the only really cool car was the Mini. Everybody wanted one. It starred in advertisements and films and was as famous as the Beatles or the Rolling Stones. Anyone who was young, rich, famous, and fashionable had to be photographed sitting on, in, or just near one. And anyone who was poor, unknown, and not very fashionable wanted one too. There were small and cheap and suited the mood of the post-war generation who had more money and freedom than their parents had ever had.

A HANDMADE CAR
The Morgan is a (1) __________ car: it is made in Britain by a family-owned company and it is handmade.
Each Morgan is made individually. Modern materials and up-to-date manufacturing technology are combined with 100-year-old (2) __________. There are no assembly lines because each stage of the manufacturing is done by (3) __________ craftsmen. For example, the wooden frame is made in the same way as the first Morgan in 1909, upholsterers make the leather seats, and sheet metalworkers make the panel by hand.
In contrast to all these (4) __________ skills, Morgan engineers make precision mechanical components using modern Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machinery so a Morgan driver has a state-of-the-art engine in a traditionally-made car.
It takes a long time to make a car by hand. The Morgan factory produces about 500 cars a year. Buyers put their name on a waiting list and then wait for the factory to tell them that their car is finished. The shortest wait is about two years – and sometimes the wait is five years. Like proud parents-to-be, people on the waiting list can visit the factory to see their car being made and to talk to the (5) __________ doing the work.
