Description: The possibility of optimizing Materials Handling systems by mathematical programs was described in 1963 by Isaacs, French and Peart (3), with an example of livestock feeding. A development of this concept to the design of piggeries is a relatively small step, once the full range of time study standard data has been compiled for all alternative methods of performing piggery chores under average conditions. Such data was prepared in 1963 for most pig-keeping methods used in Alberta (5). The labourious nature of the calculations needed to resolve the data into a useful format have hitherto precluded their use. The application of network diagrams and critical path scheduling to this type of problem are described in this paper with an example
