Abstract: Excerpts from the report: The primary objective of this study was to analyze the relative efficiencies in the use of warehouse labor by feed-mixing mills and how this efficiency varies among mills using three basic warehouse materials handling methods. Six mills were studied during the months of June, July, and August, 1957. Two mills were chosen because their warehousing operation was performed primarily by forklift trucks and pallets. Another 2 because their operation was primarily through the use of a belt conveyor. The remaining 2 were chosen because their warehousing operation was performed by 2-wheel hand trucks.
