Abstract

Excerpts from the report: Lines of trucks waiting to unload grain at country elevators were a familiar sight in grain-producing areas 40 years ago. Waiting lines are still common at harvesttime in the Hard Winter Wheat area. How long each truck waits at the elevator depends on a number of factors -- how many trucks arrive during the day, the handling capacity of the elevator, the time interval between truck arrivals, and efficiency of receiving operations at the elevator. The study reported here is concerned with speeding up receiving operations at the elevator. This study was made to appraise methods, labor, layouts, and equipment used in receiving grain at concrete country elevators and to find ways to speed up receiving while maintaining economy of operation. The observed methods of receiving described in this report were the most efficient noted during the field studies.
