Trucks brought about 54 percent of this volume into the city; railroads brought 45 percent; and 1 percent arrived by boat.

Download or read book New Bedford Wholesale Food Distribution Facilities Classic Reprint written by Earl Gilbert Taylor and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-10 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Bedford Wholesale Food-Distribution Facilities In 1961, thirty wholesale food handlers received a total of tons of food. Of this volume, 70 percent arrived by truck. Supplies arrived from all parts of the United States as well as from many foreign countries, primar ily Portugal. One-quarter of the grocery volume, one-half of the meat and poultry volume, and three-quarters of the fresh fruit and vegetable volume were distributed within the city of new Bedford. In plans developed for new facilities, the fresh fruit and vegetable deal ers and the meat and poultry dealers are placed in a single building divided into 27 units. The fruit and vegetable dealers would occupy 8 units, each 25 feet wide, 36 feet deep, and 20 feet high with a 14-foot covered front plat form. Six units similar to the fresh fruit and vegetable units are provided for the poultry and small meat wholesaling firms. Thirteen larger units in this building are recommended for meat wholesalers and processors. These units are 25 by 100 feet, with 14-foot front and rear platforms, and are two stories high. Another modified multiple-occupancy building containing 20 units would house the smaller grocery firms. Three single-occupancy buildings containing square feet, square feet, and square feet are suggested for the larger general-line grocery firms. Three sites were considered in the north end of the city: Nash Road, Tarkiln Hill Road, and the south end of the industrial park. The total cost of land and facilities is estimated at about million dollars. If private financing were used to develop these facilities it is estimated that the annual rentals needed to make the project fully self-supporting would be It might be possible with city assistance to reduce the cost of amortization and other Operating costs which affect rents. For most firms, regardless of the method of financing, this would represent a considerable increase in rental charges over those being paid for their present inadequate facilities. This increased rental cost would be partially offset by reduced handling, interdealer handling, Spoilage, deterioration, breakage, and shrinkage costs. Still the total cost would be somewhat higher than that now incurred, because it is impossible to provide adequate facilities at the same low cost of those now in use. The plan developed is aimed at providing new facilities at the lowest possible cost for dealers who must relocate.

Download or read book Food Distribution Facilities for Wilkes Barre and Scranton Pennsylvania Classic Reprint written by Richard K. Overheim and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-19 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Food Distribution Facilities for Wilkes-Barre and Scranton, Pennsylvania In 1969, 83 independent wholesale food firms and seven food-chain warehouses in the area received nearly tons of food. Of this, about 58 percent arrived by truck and 42 percent by rail road. About 32 percent of the tonnage was dis tributed within the metropolitan areas of Wilkes Barre and Scranton, 25 percent in other parts of Pennsylvania, and the remaining 43 percent outside the State. Approximately 12 percent of this food originated in Pennsylvania. Meat and meat products constituted the greatest tonnage from within-the State and fresh fruits and vegetables the second largest. The 52 independent food wholesalers needing new facilities handled about tons of food in 1969. Some of the cost of moving this tonnage through their facilities was excessive because of the type or location of wholesalers' facilities. Many of the buildings were not designed for food handling operations. Nor could they be adapted for use of modern materials-handling equipment. Many facilities did not have direct rail connec tions nor did they have docks at truck-bed height. Many firms operated in multistory facilities that required elevators to move food products. Some wholesale firms were located on narrow streets, adding to the cost of receiving and distributing food. These factors also affected the amount or spoilage that occurred.

Download or read book Your Strategy Needs a Strategy written by Martin Reeves and published by Harvard Business Review Press. This book was released on 2015-05-19 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You think you have a winning strategy. But do you? Executives are bombarded with bestselling ideas and best practices for achieving competitive advantage, but many of these ideas and practices contradict each other. Should you aim to be big or fast? Should you create a blue ocean, be adaptive, play to win—or forget about a sustainable competitive advantage altogether? In a business environment that is changing faster and becoming more uncertain and complex almost by the day, it’s never been more important—or more difficult—to choose the right approach to strategy. In this book, The Boston Consulting Group’s Martin Reeves, Knut Haanæs, and Janmejaya Sinha offer a proven method to determine the strategy approach that is best for your company. They start by helping you assess your business environment—how unpredictable it is, how much power you have to change it, and how harsh it is—a critical component of getting strategy right. They show how existing strategy approaches sort into five categories—Be Big, Be Fast, Be First, Be the Orchestrator, or simply Be Viable—depending on the extent of predictability, malleability, and harshness. In-depth explanations of each of these approaches will provide critical insight to help you match your approach to strategy to your environment, determine when and how to execute each one, and avoid a potentially fatal mismatch. Addressing your most pressing strategic challenges, you’ll be able to answer questions such as: • What replaces planning when the annual cycle is obsolete? • When can we—and when should we—shape the game to our advantage? • How do we simultaneously implement different strategic approaches for different business units? • How do we manage the inherent contradictions in formulating and executing different strategies across multiple businesses and geographies? Until now, no book brings it all together and offers a practical tool for understanding which strategic approach to apply. Get started today.
