This section looks at some other theories about production and some further
work you may want to try. Before considering this it would probably be a good
idea to have tried the various worksheets on
production in the Cameron Balloons virtual factory.
Producing balloons is a very unique activity, and many of the solutions that
Cameron Balloons have found differ from the more conventional methods found in
textbooks. Some of the following areas may be helpful in analysing production
further.
