process berries arrived at RP1, loading 20~400 bbls. These trucks arrived randomly and average truck delivery was 75 bbls. Truck usually took from 10 minutes to back a truck onto a dumper( 6 trucks/ hour) and they moved to five dumpers. So total dumps capacity is 75 (bbls/truck) X 6 (truck/hour) X 5 dumps = 2250
Second, temporary holding bins capacity :
1)Only dry berries bins (bins 1~16): 16 b
Advantage from the process
1. Low Cost from Economies of Scale
Collect huge amount of laundry from its stores & Automation System
Need huge Initial Cost & Fix Cost
However, lower the average cost by ① washing laundries in one location
② reducing labor cost
2. One-day service from the automation laundry system.
process up to 1,500bbls per hour each. Since there is no need to de-stone wet fruits, these berries were taken to three drying units where they were dried at rates up to 200bbls per hour. These berries were to be loaded into bulk trucks, and they were bagged at 150bbls per hour. Dry berries went through one of three de-stoning units which could process up to 1,500bbls per hour before de-chaffing.
II. Temporary Holding
After the process berries were weighted, sampled and finally color graded, they were finally moved to one of the five Kiwanee dumpers which had rapidly moving belt conveyors. The berries were taken to one of the 27 temporary holding bins (bins 1-24 held 250 bbls. and bins 25-27 held 400 bbls. each) which were controlled from a central control panel. Although it usually took
process fruit section was $2.25/hr.
- The straight-time pay rate for the full-year employees averaged $3.75/hr.
The amount of overtime used in a day or week depended on how effectively workers could be scheduled.
- If we had operated RP1 after 11pm, it would be desirable to have some workers report for work at 6PM or later.
- There was also the problem of absenteeism.
