    Material handling involves the movement, storage, and control of materials throughout the manufacturing and distribution process. The goal is to achieve these functions through proper methods and equipment at the lowest possible cost. An efficient material handling system is important for manufacturing operations as it allows materials to move through various stages of production and shipping in a cost-effective manner. The objectives of material handling include reducing the number of handlings, lowering costs, reducing cycle times, improving safety and working conditions, and increasing productivity and storage capacity.

    Meaning Material handling is the art and science involving the


    movement, packing, and storing of substances in any form - American Material Society Material Handling is the movement, storage, control and protection of materials, goods and products throughout the process of manufacturing, distribution, consumption and disposal. The focus is on the methods, mechanical equipment, systems and related controls used to achieve these functions.

    Material Handling
    Creation of time and place utility
    Movement and storage of material at the lowest

    possible cost through the use of proper methods and equipments. Lifting, shifting and placing of materials which effect a saving in money, time and place Art and science of conveying, elevating, positioning, transporting, packing and storing of materials

    Importance of M H
    Efficient material handling is important to

    manufacturing operations. Materials sent by vendors must be unloaded, moved through inspections ad production operations to stores and finally to the shipping department. These movements do not add value to the product but they do add value to the cost

    Material handling analysis is a subset of plant layout.

    Method study, plant layout and material handling are all part of the design of a production facility Material handling systems and plant layout enhance effectiveness of each other. Efficient operation of appropriate material handling methods reduce cost and enables maximum capabilities to be derived from a given production facility

    Objectives
    Main objective is to reduce the number of handlings as

    well as the overall cost of material handling equipment and reducing the distances through which the materials are handled. The other objectives are
    Lower unit material handling cost Reduction in manufacturing cycle time through faster

    movement of materials and by reducing the distance through which the materials are moved. Reduction in manufacturing cycle time results in reducing work-in progress inventory costs.

    Improved working conditions and greater safety in

    movement of materials Contribute to better quality by avoiding damage to products by inefficient handling Increased storage capacity through better utilization of storage areas Higher productivity at lower manufacturing cost

    M H Principles Eliminate handling


    If not, make handling distance as short as possible

    Keep moving If not, reduce the time spent at terminal points to route as short as possible Use simple patterns of material flow The simplest path is a straight line, if not, avoid back tracking, cross over's Carry pay loads both ways If not, minimize time spent on transport empty by changing speed in return route Carry full load If not, decrease carrying capacity by lowering the speed Use gravity If not, use a cheaper power source

    Organization & Material Handling


    The structure varies with industry, type of

    manufacturing process, the product manufactured, its bulk and its value. In small firms, it may be one of the functions assigned to the plant engineer, purchasing manager or production manager. Big firms, a separate dep. Itself is deve3loped to study processing and devise better handling techniques. When thus organized, they form part of industrial engineering division.

    Unit load concept


    Unit load is the number of items, or bulk material, so

    arranged that the mass can be picked up and moved as a single object, too large for manual handling.

    Flow Pattern
    When drawn on a paper, the flow pattern becomes a

    flow chart, which will help locate needless crisscrossing and back tracking of material movements. Once unwanted movements are known, steps can be taken to eliminate or reduce such move.

    Advantages of good flow patterns


    Increased efficiency of production Better utilization of floor space Simplified handling activities Better equipment utilization, less idle time Reduced in-process time Reduced in-process inventory More efficient utilization of work force Reduced walking distance Minimal accident hazards Basis for an efficient layout Faster supervision

    Minimal back tracking


    Smooth production flow Improved scheduling process

    Reduced crowded conditions


    Better house keeping Logical work sequencing

    Factors affecting selection of M H Equipments


    Production Problems Volume of production, class of material, layout of plant Capabilities of handling equipment available Adaptability, flexibility, load capacity, power, speed, space requirement, supervision requirement, ease of maintenance, environment, cost. The human element involved Safety

    Types of material handling Equipments


    Conveyors Belt conveyors, Chain conveyors, Roller conveyors, Pneumatic conveyors, Bucket conveyors, Screw conveyors, Pipeline conveyors, Vibratory conveyors, Chute or Gravity conveyors

    Cranes, Elevators and Hoists


    Cranes- overhead rails or ground rails or wheels Elevators .between flowers- vertically Hoist vertically, horizontally limited area- electric or

    chain hoist.

    Industrial Trucks

    Miscellaneous Handling Equipments


    Pipeline
    Automatic transfer device Automatic Guided Vehicle No operators, flexibility in paths, signals through wires on floor. A remote control computer reqd. Industrial Robots Built in control- can be programmed- hence very versatile
