Empirical Models for the Performance Evaluation of Duyvis Cocoa Press

Duyvis Press is the most expensive machine in Cocoa processing industry and most of the products that one can get from cocoa is through this press. This is a rationale by which the strategic decision parameters of agricultural processing equipment handling can be monitored and controlled to achieve optimum performance of the machine. It will cause reduction in down time and also prevent sudden breakdown that can lead to great losses to the cocoa industries. It will identify the area (s) of deficiency and control if for optimum effectiveness. Ability to achieve this well: increase the productivity of the plant reduced down time period maintain cost as well as bringing inventory cost to the barest minimum.
