7. Question 7

   Write the first four steps of a process flow for a product you know, and one thing that could go wrong at each step.

   Show answer

   Model answer: A good answer lists real steps in order (for example receive, sort, wash, cut) and one believable risk at each, such as contaminated raw material, damaged product, dirty water or uneven size. The details depend on the product.

8. Question 8

   Explain in your own words why a small hand-made batch is a better first step than buying a machine.

   Show answer

   Model answer: A small batch costs little, shows whether buyers want the product, teaches you the real steps and problems, and tells you which step needs equipment. A machine bought too early may not match what you learn.
