Model answer:

Frozen meat pie production in its two production lines is depicted in the given diagrams.

Overall, the process appears to be complex and requires beef as the primary ingredient, along with prepared potatoes, peas, carrots and gravy.

In the first line of production, frozen beef which is not older than two weeks after slaughtering is transported into the unit. It is then defrosted and cooked to the desired temperature in the oven, after topping it with salt and pepper. Fat from the cooked beef slices is removed in the next step, and the pieces are cut smaller. After the quality check, these are arranged manually at the bottom of the containers.

Simultaneously, potatoes, which are not older than two months of harvest are delivered to the unit and stored. As per the demand, these are cleaned, peeled, sliced, boiled and then immediately chilled and stored. On to the beef-filled containers, prepared peas and carrots are dropped. At the next station, prepared gravy is poured and topped with stored potato slices. The containers are then wrapped, frozen and are stored for dispatch.
