A Famous Contract.

Some years ago France and Great Britain made a contract to construct a tunnel under the English Channel (La Manche). Both France and Britain find this contract very profitable because it helps to develop tourism, trade and other economic relations among the countries of the Common Market. The construction of the tunnel is over and Britain has stopped being an island.

Order and Delivery.

 

Mr. Littlewood is the owner of a small business. He manufactures all sorts of furniture for summer houses - tables, chairs, garden benches and so on. Mr. Littlewood is a good designer of furniture and he employs five carpenters. Their pieces of furniture are fashionable and practical. No wonder they sell well.

Every week Mr. Littlewood has to plan his manufacturing process. He certainly has all the necessary equipment but machine-tools break down from time to time. So he has either to repair them or to purchase new ones.

Some other purchases include raw materials - wood, glue, paints - and manufactured parts - nails, screws, metal parts.

Mr. Littlewood makes a special arrangment with his supplier who must send the raw materials in acordance with the schedule of delivery. He also buys manufactured parts in large quantities because he gets a discount if he orders something in bulk.
