Excerpts from the report: Marketing the products of the Nation's farms, ranches, and groves requires the physical handling and the movement of millions of tons of commodities each year. Some of these products are handled as many as 25 or 30 times between producer and consumer. These operations require thousands of workers and millions of man-hours of labor. Currently the labor required for marketing some products exceeds that necessary to produce them. This emphasizes the importance of the efficient use of manpower. This report is one of a series designed to guide operators of apple and other fruit packing and storage houses in reducing labor required for various physical handling and warehouse operations. It outlines some of the methods by which labor can be made more productive. Although it evaluates methods and equipment used for handling boxes of apples in Pacific Northwest apple houses and appraises some of the methods and equipment developed during the research in that area, the results should be applicable to commercial fruit packing and storage houses in all areas. |
