Abstract

Excerpts from the report: The general purpose of an overall study of egg handling costs and labor efficiency was to obtain handling costs and determine yardsticks that would enable handlers to know whether their costs were out of line and, if so, what factors might be responsible. The study had three major objectives: (1) To obtain information on costs and labor requirements of the several operations or steps in handling eggs and then determine averages, ranges, and yardsticks, (2) to determine and measure factors affecting costs and labor output; and (3) to find and apply methods, skills, techniques, and other means of increasing efficiency in individual operations and organizations.
