The Organic Bread Company (OBC) makes a range of breads for sale direct to the public. The production
process begins with workers weighing out ingredients on electronic scales and then placing them in a
machine for mixing. A worker then manually removes the mix from the machine and shapes it into loaves
by hand, after which the bread is then placed into the oven for baking.
All baked loaves are then inspected by OBC's quality inspector before they are packaged up and made
ready for sale. Any loaves which fail the inspection are donated to a local food bank.
The standard cost card for OBC's 'Mixed Bloomer', one of its most popular loaves, is as follows:
