Excerpts from the report: Many poultry wholesalers in urban areas need new facilities because their present ones are obsolete, inadequate, or no longer in the most advantageous location. Some wholesalers are operating in old buildings never intended for handling food, which have structural and space limitations that prevent the firm from using modern handling equipment and methods. The purpose of this report is to provide information to help a poultry wholesaler lay out the space his firm would occupy in a building in a food center. The information includes a description of buildings in food distribution centers, principles of layout planning, their application to a poultry wholesale firm, a step-by-step procedure for planning a layout, and an example of a layout. This layout is intended to serve as a guide to the poultry wholesaler who will be planning the layout for his firm.
