Abstract: Excerpts from the report: This study included plants located in the Southwest and Midwest. Detailed industrial engineering studies were made at nine selected boning lines, and 11 additional lines were visited to obtain background information. Fourteen of the boning lines studied were a part of individual slaughtering plant operations. Six were in separate boning houses that usually obtained carcasses for boning from several slaughterers. The objectives of this research on beef carcass boning lines were to compare the relative efficiency and operating costs for the table and conveyor systems, and to develop guidelines and efficient layouts for use by the meat industry in planning the optimum boning line for its needs.
