Popis: This paper describes design and testing of a packing line for shiitake mushrooms. Because the mushroom marketing cooperative that used the packing line had limited resources, the design minimized equipment costs. In the final design, seven workers could pack three hundred 99-g (3.5-oz) containers per hour, with variable costs for packing materials and labor of $0.42 per container.
