The eleventh article in the series "Increasing Productivity and Quality Management" focuses on the subject of pallet loading in a precast facility. There is certainly a direct correlation between the loading of production pallets and the productivity of the facility. This report explains the mechanics of pallet loading and discusses the factors that influence the degree of such loading. It also shows that optimal loading is not necessarily only about maximizing the surface to be concreted, and that issues such as ergonomics and the homogenization of cycle times are important factors.
