KN: Specialisation might lower quality in a toy factory if workers repeat narrow tasks and lose overall craftsmanship.
APP for e.g a worker who only fits wheels may ignore gluing or final checks, leading to defects.
AN Toys will have a reduction in quality like missing tyres etc. Over specialisation can reduce care and flexibility, raising defects unless quality control is kept strict.
19 Explain one reason why specialisation might lead to lower quality products in a toy factory.

Re: 19 Explain one reason why specialisation might lead to lower quality products in a toy factory.
[KN] specialisation can lead to lower quality because workers repeat the same small job and may become careless or bored
[APP] a worker’s only task is to pack the toys into boxes, they might not see that some toys are broken or missing parts.
[AN] This can lead to customers receiving faulty products, reducing the factory’s reputation and overall quality.

Re: 19 Explain one reason why specialisation might lead to lower quality products in a toy factory.
[KN] Specialisation means workers focus on one specific task in the production process.
[APP] In a toy factory, if each worker repeatedly performs the same task, they may become bored or demotivated.
[AN] This can lead to careless mistakes and less attention to detail, resulting in lower quality products.

Re: 19 Explain one reason why specialisation might lead to lower quality products in a toy factory.
[KN] As every worker perform a single task repeatedly making him bored and careless.
[APP] For e.g. in toy factory a person repeatedly fitting the toys would increase the chances of mistakes while fixing it.
[AN] Increased mistakes means more burden on the supervisors (1) who are checking the quality of products, thus increasing the cost of production due to rejection of toys (2). Also, if these toys reach the customer without being checked, would dissatisfy them as well.(3)
