TABLE V - 52. --FROZEN COOKED AND PEELED SHRBIP, 

 ESTBIATED PRODUCTION RATES AND MAN-HOURS REQUIRED 

 TO PRODUCE 100 POUNDS OF END-PRODUCT, HYPOTHETICAL 

 PLANT USING SYNTHESIZED PROCEDURES AlID LAYOUT 



A production rate of 4 barrels (840 pounds) of head-on shrimp 

 per hour per peeling machine and a yield of 65 pounds of end-product per 

 barrel has been used as a basis for these calculations. Assuming 1,040 

 pounds of end-product per hour is produced by 4 peeling machines, the man 

 power needed at each operational stage would be as follows:
