Abstract

Excerpts from the report Introduction: During the past 2 decades many innovations in fluid milk marketing have materially affected the work methods, equipment, and facility designs used in fluid milk plants. Among the major factors affecting plant operations have been: (1) A general development of more efficient types of equipment; (2) the advent of receiving milk in bulk; and (3) the trend to paper containers and dispenser cans. This study was undertaken, therefore, to measure the effects of these innovations on the work methods and equipment used in fluid milk plants in Georgia. The objectives were to: (1) Measure the relative efficiencies of various work methods and various types and combinations of types of equipment used in fluid milk plants; (2) compare the various combinations of work methods and equipment types by plant types for the purpose of determining their effects on total plant costs; (3) appraise the effects of volume on labor and equipment requirements and costs; and (4) develop facility layouts, including equipment arrangement
