Diamonds:

The Cutting and Polishing of diamonds is a highly labour intensive process, which demands a significant level of skill and attention in detail on the part of the worker. Each small diamond has to be processed individually and due to the small size and high cost of raw material being processed “rough diamonds” or “roughs” – a great deal of accuracy is required. Constant supervision to ensure minimum wastage and constant vigilance to prevent any pilferage is essential. A successful diamond processing operation demands highly skilled labour operation within a closely supervised and efficiently structured manufacturing environment with excellent management information system to ensure adequate controls and a high quality product.
