Some Improved Methods of Handling Frozen Food in Wholesale Plants
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book evaluates various methods of handling inventory in frozen food warehouses during the mid-twentieth century. The author presents three case studies that compare the costs and benefits of using power roller conveyors, single-deck carts, and multiple-deck carts in place of more traditional methods like gravity-type roller conveyors and four-wheel hand trucks. These studies conclude that such methods result in considerable cost and time savings, with the best results being achieved with multiple-deck carts. This approach allowed several orders to be held on a single cart without unloading until delivery trucks were available, which is ideal for operations where trucks were out making deliveries during the order assembly process. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
