Abstract

Excerpts from the report: On the basis of data from records of feed manufacturers in 35 States, two packing center models were developed representing small and large plants manufacturing mixed feeds for delivery in both bulk and packaged form. The models provide information on standards against which to measure costs, labor, equipment, and operating practices in the packaging process. The models are typical of packing centers in feed plants producing 80 and 200 tons of mixed feed per 8-hour shift, which package 80 percent of their production. Most of the information on which this report is based was obtained in a mail survey made in November 1961. Questionnaires were sent to feed manufacturers in 34 States. A major portion of the survey questionnaire was designed to obtain data for the packing cost center on (a) the most popular sizes of packaging centers, (b) the various types and kinds of equipment used in the packing operation, and (c) the relative importance of the various kinds of feeds packaged and how this affected the mill's production schedule.
