Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

ONE OF the largest contracts received by Crawford Doors Ltd has been for the supply of three doors valued at E27,000 for the new Hanger Truck Centre of Ockley.

The Ford main dealer's Elm development was opened by Sir Terence Beckett, chairman of the Ford Motor Company on May 1.

Each of the centre's spacious service bays is fitted with a Crawford 342 manually operated overhead door measuring 3.6m (11.8ft) x 4.8m (15.75ft) and containing one row of punched glazed openings. Every cavity in the door is filled with 40mm of polyurethane. The insulation is twice the thickness provided in most insulated doors and can bring about substantial fuel savings.

The three-acre site in Birmingham was formerly a goods yard belonging to Great Western Railway. The 22,500sqft of working space is equipped with over £100,000 of tools and equipment, including eight inspection pits and two ramps.

The workshop is designed on a flowline basis, and is said to be one of the most modern in Europe.
