The study found that it takes less than half the time to stock an egg display using retail-ready RPCs instead of corrugated.
Tosca Ltd., Atlanta, released the results of a “Time and Motion Study” for eggs. Tosca commissioned Advantage Consulting Group, Garden City, N.Y., to conduct the study evaluating the impact of transport packaging solutions on store labor. The study compared the time it takes to stock and manage egg displays in a grocery store using traditional one-way corrugated shipping boxes vs. Tosca’s reusable plastic containers (RPCs).
The methodology for comparison analyzed the multi-step process for managing the egg department, including pulling egg cases from the cooler, stocking and rotating cartons, disposing of packaging and removing damaged eggs.
