Abstract: Excerpts from the report: The purpose of this study was to analyze systems for packing whole, ready-to-cook broilers and to develop and incorporate economically feasible improvements in the systems to increase their level of efficiency. Packing operations were observed in broiler processing plants to gather background information on the combinations of work methods and equipment commonly used in the industry. Packing and grading operations in randomly selected commercial plants were analyzed by time study methods to determine average labor requirements, by function, when various methodologies and equipment are used. Based on productivity data gathered from the randomly selected plants, one of the plants was chosen to exemplify the way productivity could be improved in plants that use similar work methods and equipment.
