Figure 2
The diagram illustrates a production line with two parallel “Mould Plate” processes, labeled “Mould Plate 1” at the top and “Mould Plate 2” below it. Each mould plate process is enclosed within its own horizontal rectangular frame. Within each frame, six rectangular blocks are arranged horizontally from left to right, representing sequential production stages. For “Mould Plate 1,” these blocks are labeled “Mould assembling,” “Reinforcement bar setting,” “Casting,” “Curing,” “Mould stripping,” and “Finishing.” The “Mould Plate 2” process mirrors this layout with identical labels for its stages. Blue arrows, representing “Process flow,” connect these blocks, indicating the unidirectional progression from left to right. Above these process stages, six vertical downward-pointing yellow arrows, labeled “Crew 1” through “Crew 6,” originate and connect to the top of the respective process blocks in both “Mould Plate 1” and “Mould Plate 2” lines. These yellow arrows symbolize “Labour flow.” Additionally, from the bottom of each process block in both lines, a corresponding yellow arrow points downward. The legend at the bottom of the diagram defines the yellow and blue arrows.Flow-view production processes. Source: Authors’ own work
