Abstract

Excerpt from the report Summary: Frozen-food wholesalers usually have three choices in obtaining facilities: (1) Lease space in a public refrigerated warehouse; (2) construct a plant designed to fit the wholesaler's individual requirements; or (3) get together with other frozen food wholesalers in a specially designed warehouse. Regardless of the choice made, the wholesale distribution plant should contain the following components: (1) Storage space; (2) order-assembly room, which may also provide some storage space; (3) order-holding space, which may be in the order-assembly or storage rooms; (4) covered platforms; (5) office space; and (6) toilet and washroom facilities. Other plant components may include: (1) Compressor room; (2) direct rail connections; (3) parking area and accommodations for refrigerating delivery trucks; (4) utility storage room; and (5) inspection and testing laboratory.
