What other suggestions to improve productivity can be made that do not require equipment or capital expenditure?
The first item is to standardize operations. Items such as the number of bunches placed in a pail should be set depending on the variety. The containers used should be a standard size throughout the floral processing process. The amount of water in each pail should be controlled for two reasons – one is handling – all pails will weigh the same and two is the use of floral preservatives. The amount of floral preservative used per pail can now be made a constant. Simple yet practical things can be done to simplify the whole floral processing process and improve the quality of the end product.
