COSTS OF THE MODEL DEPARTMENT SOFT CHEESE -MAKING .2. MODEL-SPECIFIC FACTOR INPUT

Part 2 describes, according to the general technical process condition s, the mechanical and constructional equipment of the 4 models, the in vestment expenditure, effective life and maintenance quotas of which a re represented on the basis of subdivisions. The technical layout was adjusted to a reduced capacity utilization (65% and 33% employment). T he investments necessary for the basic version (100% employment) reach ed 25.0 million DM in model 1 and 54.5 million DM in model 4. Consumpt ions of the factors of production raw materials, personnel, energy, su pplies and repair work are derived from the specific equipment of the model. Input of resources, proportional to quantities and allocated to the products, as well as fixed consumptions dependent on a given peri od which are accruing from the department are found in this manner. On the basis of a select employment situation corresponding to a two-shi ft operation covering a period of 250 production days it is shown how the input of resources aggregated at the department level are composed as a function of the model size. So, for instance, in the sector of t he productive factors personnel it was found that for model 1 a number of 25 man-powers is required, whilst it is 40 for model 4.
