Managing People and Systems to Improve Core Marketing

摘要

As we all strive to produce a better quality product and as packer requirements become more specific, producers are required to adjust practices to best achieve these requirements and to maximize their returns. As units change from owner operators tointegrators, how we attain that final product has also changed. Owner operators control all aspects of their operations. If they ship a light pig, it hits them directly in the pocketbook. In integrated systems, management makes decisions on many of the same elements of their business except one, the actual shipping weight. This is controlled by our staff, many of whom get their pay checks regardless of whether their pigs hit the core percentage or not.
