The sequential breakdown was as follows: (1) Measure the efficiency of currently used methods and equipment, (2) make improvements in methods and techniques where possible, (3) adapt existing commercial equipment to packing operations where applicable, (4) develop and construct new equipment where the need existed and commercial equipment was not available, (5) incorporate into packing methods and equipment those features that were conducive to maintaining quality of product, and (6) compare existing work methods and equipment with the improved methods and equipment developed during the study.
