CHAPTER III
ARRANGEMENT OF OUTFIT
YOU will agree with me that unless you have your outfit arranged right you will be wasting steps, and that one worker will be in the way of another.
The best way is to have the room arranged so that the raw corn starts down one side of the room and the finished goods come back on the other, so that the process of manufacture passes around the room in a continuous progress toward the shipping point.
This sketch gives you an arrangement to consider. You should make your Popper and Mill Stand, Stock Tank Stand, Kettle Stirring Stand and Bench so that you can move them, and thus try various distances and arrangements to fit the particular line of goods that becomes your leader.
It is just as bad to have machines too close together as to have them too far apart, even when arranged in good working order. In the plan above, room is left for barrels to stand in front of the popper, at the side of and in front of the mill and room for two at the Kettle Stirring Stand, one for whole corn and one for ground corn.
ALL POWER EQUIPMENT
Several conditions of manufacture are changed as the quantity of production is increased.
