Book excerpt: Excerpt from Increasing the Efficiency of Power Used for Materials Handling in Southwestern Cotton Gins This cost-price squeeze has caused ginners to devote increasing attention to ways and means of improving Operating efficiencies and reducing ginning costs. Gin operators are confronted with two types of costs-fixed and variable. Fixed costs, as the term implies, are relatively sticky and difficult to alter in the short run. They consist of depreciation, interest on investment, taxes, and insurance. Variable costs differ from fixed costs in that they are dependent on total output and general operating techniques. Power, labor, repairs, and maintenance are the major variable expense items. Of these, power and labor are two over which gin Operators can exert the most direct control and, hence, derive the greatest immediate benefits from the introduction of operating efficiencies.
