Recipe data records
The drawers of the file cabinet are filled with suspension folders. The suspension folders in
the drawers represent records required for manufacturing various product variants.
Example:
Product variants of the flavor apple might be a soft drink, a juice or nectar, for example.

Elements
In the figure showing the file cabinet, each suspension folder contains the same number of
sheets. Each sheet in the suspension folder corresponds to an element of the recipe data
record. All the records of a recipe contain the same elements. The records differ, however,
in the value of the individual elements.
Example:
All drinks contain the same components: water, concentrate, sugar and flavoring. The
records for soft drink, fruit juice or nectar differ, however, in the quantity of sugar
used in production.
