Abstract
The sanitation of food processing and packaging facilities is a labor intensive activity. As with any labor intensive operation, effective planning and control of the manpower is necessary. The more effective tie management, the more effective and productive the manpower will be.
As the effectiveness of the management improves, the cost effectiveness of the manpower will improve.
In dealing with the manufacturing of foods, there are numerous government regulations, of which sanitation plays a key role. Misunderstanding the impact of these regulations, and either over- or under-reacting to them, can result in unnecessary costs or severe problems.
In order to achieve the minimum sanitation cost, while maximizing the net result of the sanitation effort, a well defined sanitation management program is essential.
The program must provide for effective planning and control of all aspects of the sanitation operation. It must include the ability to change as the conditions and requirements evolve. In addition, it must assist in the improving of the productivity of the manpower.
The need to have such a program, has resulted in the development of the management program proposed in this thesis.
