Abstract

Excerpt from the report: How does market organization affect functional efficiency in a fluid milk market? This study seeks to determine and evaluate differences in the relative efficiency of alternative methods of coordinating the total milk supply with demand. Marketing firms employ various means to achieve a degree of balance between supply and demand. Some of these have resulted in greater efficiency--some in less. The degree of efficiency is compared by two measures: (1) The relative portion of the milk supply which must be carried as necessary reserves, and (2) the relative cost of managing and handling the flow of milk by different methods. The case study approach was used to compare relationships under the various coordinating systems. This report is based upon a study of the Pittsburgh, Pa., marketing area.
