Excerpt from Some Improved Methods of Handling Frozen Food in Wholesale Plants
An analysis of this tabulation reveals that the large-volume distributor had the highest productivity rate per unit of labor, that the small-volume dealer had the lowest productivity, and the medium-volume dealer fell about midway between the other two. The cost per order varied for these distributors in reverse order to their volume, with the large-volume distributor having the lowest cost per order, and the low-volume distributor having the highest cost per order. However, from the improvements that resulted from this research in order assembly operations, it is evident that the low-volume distributor can lower his costs and thereby strengthen his competitive position by organizing his stock properly, by selecting equipment suitable for his operations, and by analyzing the weak points of his materials-handling system in much the same manner as was done in this study.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book evaluates various methods of handling inventory in frozen food warehouses during the mid-twentieth century. The author presents three case studies that compare the costs and benefits of using power roller conveyors, single-deck carts, and multiple-deck carts in place of more traditional methods like gravity-type roller conveyors and four-wheel hand trucks. These studies conclude that such methods result in considerable cost and time savings, with the best results being achieved with multiple-deck carts. This approach allowed several orders to be held on a single cart without unloading until delivery trucks were available, which is ideal for operations where trucks were out making deliveries during the order assembly process.
