Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the methods of optimizing the handling of groceries in a way that reduces costs to the consumer, all while discussing the implications of such improvements. The author notes that reducing handling time by one minute could result in $160 million in annual food handling savings. The book examines eight systems for handling groceries and their costs. It finds that fully palletized handling has limited use and that shipping by pallet with conveyor receiving has even more limited use. The author emphasizes that the relative cost of eight systems differ greatly when the warehouse is a long distance from the retail store, and that the distance from warehouse to store should be factored in when considering these systems. In concluding, the book argues that careful examination of the inefficiencies within the present scale of retail store operations can result in significant cost savings to the consumer.
