The diagram given illustrate the way in which pears are processed into fruits for commercial purposes.
Looking at the illustration, it is immediately evident that this is a man-made linear process that requires a combination of both human labor and machinery. Additionally, there are fourteen major stages involved in this process, beginning with hand-picking the pears and culminating in the dispatch of the final products to the market.
In the first step, pears are hand-picked, after which they are transported to the processing factory. Following this, the fruit is washed sp that any dirt or impurities are removed. The pears the undergo quality checking before being placed into cold storage. Once this has been completed, the fruit is weighed and graded, followed by peeling. After that, the pears are cored and sliced into appropriate pieces.
At the next stage, the prepared pear pieces are put into cans, where they are sealed to prevent contamination. Next, the cans are cooked and sterilized to make them safe for consumption and extend their shelf life. Having been sterilized, the products are labeled and then stored. The process ends when the finished canned pears are dispatched to retailers for sale, thereby completing the production cycle.
