A computer programme in Fortran; to handle all the possible different parameters in such as operation is presented. The model is designed to cope with labour intensive operation or capital intensive operation or a combination of both of them. Results of this investigation can be used to predetermine the optimum combination of different units in such an operation for the maximum benefits. A comparison of C.I. and L.I. processes, in respect to costs and time required for the same magnitude of work, is also investigated into UR - http://203.159.5.9/ait-thesis/detail.php?q=B23196 ER -
