Mid-stream operation

Hey kiddo! Have you ever played with a water hose and tried to stop the water flow in the middle of it? That's kind of what "mid-stream operation" means.

In grown-up talk, it refers to stopping or interrupting an industrial process while it's still going. Imagine a big assembly line in a factory. When the products are being made and the machines are running, it's like water flowing through a hose. But sometimes, something needs to be changed or fixed in the middle of making those products.

That's where mid-stream operation comes in. It allows the factory workers to pause the machines, make any necessary changes, and then continue making the products without having to start all over again from the beginning.

Think of it like pausing a game you're playing so you can make some adjustments before continuing to play.

It's an important part of many industries because it can save time, money, and resources. So, now you know what mid-stream operation means!
