Abstract: Excerpts from the report: To show how the layout and operating efficiency of a specialized fowl processing plant can be improved, a plant was studied that failed to meet requirements of the Wholesome Poultry Products Act. Changes necessary to meet facility requirements under the Act and the cost of making the changes were determined. Consideration was also given to increasing the efficiency of the operation. The existing layout and operating procedures are described in this report and the reasons given for concluding that the plant should he abandoned. A new plant is recommended as a replacement, along with a proposed layout and operating procedures. The principles of layout used in the study are also applicable to improving specialized broiler plants that process fowl as a secondary product.
