Abstract

Excerpts from the report: The purpose of this study is to provide the dairy industry with information that will be helpful in (a) increasing the productivity of labor in the plants through improved layouts and automated procedures, (b) improving quality of dairy products by establishing more uniform and better controlled methods of operation, (c) improving working conditions by doing away with the jobs ordinarily requiring difficult and tedious labor, and (d) estimating the benefits resulting from improved layouts, equipment, and automated procedures. Such information should be helpful in remodeling old plants, as well as in building new ones. A plant site showing the position of the plant on an assumed location is given for a plant handling 250,000 pounds of milk per day. Layouts showing types of equipment and arrangements necessary for automated and highly mechanized operations are also shown.
