Abstract

Excerpt from the report Introduction: Handling studies were made in six country elevators in Michigan where pea beans are received from farms, cleaned, stored, and then shipped to processors or terminal elevators. Industrial engineering techniques including time and motion studies were used to collect and analyze handling data. Requirements for labor and equipment were determined for certain work in handling beans. Assumed wage rates were used to convert man-hours of labor to dollar costs and added to this were the costs of ownership and operation of equipment to provide a total cost for the operations. Also, information was developed as to proper crew organization for certain jobs.
