Cutting Remarks

According to Maliniak, the addition of the Polar System 2 practically eliminated overtime, retained a strong employee and postponed the search for, and subsequent training of, new personnel.

"With the new system, the cutter operator produces four times as much work, and he's not as tired as he used to be," contends Maliniak. "The expense of the off-loader was paid back in about a year between efficiency and wages."
