  • Theme 1 Answers Chapter 1 Case Study
    THEME 1 ANSWERS CHAPTER 1 CASE STUDY: MARS AND BANCO SANTANDER 1. Suggest two raw materials that might be used by Mars. Answers may include: cocoa, sugar, milk, dried fruit, nuts and wrapping materials. 2. Suggest two examples of different workers that might be employed by Mars. Answers may include: factory workers, machine operators, production line workers, supervisors, managers or quality inspectors. 3. Suggest two services that might be provided by Banco Santander. Answers may include: the provision of current accounts, insurance policies, loans and overdrafts, credit cards or savings accounts. 4. Discuss in groups the possible reasons why Mars may use more machinery in its operations than Santander. The provision of services such as banking often requires more people in production. This is because the service industry often involves carrying out tasks for customers that are likely to be done by people. In contrast, Mars is a manufacturer and many of its products are produced on production lines in highly automated factories. Most of the processes used to make chocolate bars, including wrapping and packaging, can be carried out by machines. The use of labour is not significant in relation to the amount of machinery. However, with more and more people using online banking, the numbers of people employed in the provision of financial services is falling. An increasing number of financial services can be provided online with a small amount of contact between bank employees and customers. ACTIVITY 1 CASE STUDY: JINDAL STEEL AND POWER 1. What is meant by the term manufacturing? One important aspect of production is manufacturing.
