    MATERIAL

    HANDLING

    Submitted by
    Prateek Gandhi
    Materials Handling
    Material handling is the function of moving
    the right material to the right place, at the
    right time, in the right amount, in right
    sequence, and in the right position or
    condition to minimize production costs.
    Goals of Material Handling
    The primary goal of material handling is to
    reduce unit costs of production.
    1. Maintain or improve product quality, reduce
    damage, and provide for
    protection of materials.
    2. Promote safety and improve working conditions.
    3. Promote productivity through the following:
    4. Material should move as short a distance as
    possible.
    • Material should flow in a straight line.
    • Move more material at one time.
    4. Promote increased use of facilities as follows:
    • Promote the use of the building cube.
    • Purchase versatile equipment.
    • Standardize material handling equipment.
    • Maximize production equipment utilization
    using material handling feeders.
    • Maintain, and replace as needed, all
    equipment and develop a preventive
    • Maintenance program.
    • Integrate all material handling equipment into
    a system.
    5. Reduce tare (dead) weight.
    6. Control Inventory.
    The following factors are to be
    taken into account while
    selecting material handling
    equipment:
    • Properties of the material
    • Layout and characteristics of the building
    the material
    • Production flow
    • Cost considerations
    • Nature of operations
    Principles of
    Material Handling
    1. PLANNING PRINCIPLE
    All material handling should be the
    result of a deliberate plan where the
    needs, performance objectives and
    functional specification of the proposed
    methods are completely defined at the
    outset.
    2. STANDARDIZATION
    PRINCIPLE
    Material handling methods, equipment,
    controls and software should
    be standardized within the limits of achieving
    overall performance
    objectives and without sacrificing needed
    flexibility, modularity and
    throughput anticipation of changing future
    requirements
    3. WORK PRINCIPLE
    Material handling work should be minimized
    without sacrificing
    productivity or the level of service required
    of the operation.
    4. ERGONOMIC PRINCIPLE
    Human capabilities and limitations must be
    recognized and
    respected in the design of material handling
    tasks and equipment to
    ensure safe and effective operations.
    5. UNIT LOAD PRINCIPLE
    Unit loads shall be appropriately sized and
    configured in a way which
    achieves the material flow and inventory
    objectives at each stage in
    the supply chain.
    6. SPACE UTILIZATION
    Effective and efficient use must be made of
    all available space.
    7. SYSTEM PRINCIPLE
    Material movement and storage activities
    should be fully integrated to
    form a coordinated, operational system which
    spans receiving,
    inspection, storage, production, assembly,
    packaging,
    unitizing, order selection, shipping,
    transportation and the handling
    of returns.
    8. AUTOMATION PRINCIPLE
    Material handling operations should be
    mechanized and/or automated where
    feasible to improve operational efficiency,
    increase responsiveness, improve
    consistency and predictability.
    9. ENVIRONMENTAL
    PRINCIPLE
    Environmental impact and energy
    consumption should be
    considered as criteria when designing or
    selecting
    alternative equipment and material
    handling systems.
    10. LIFE CYCLE COST
    PRINCIPLE
    A thorough economic analysis should
    account for the entire life
    cycle of all material handling equipment
    and resulting systems.
    The following guidelines are
    invaluable in the design and cost
    reduction of the materials
    handling system:
    • As material handling adds no value but increases
    the production cycle time, eliminate handling
    wherever possible. Ideally there should not be any
    handling at all.
    • Sequence the operations in logical manner so that
    handling is unidirectional and smooth.
    • Use gravity wherever possible as it results
    in conservation of power and fuel.
    • Standardise the handling equipments to
    the extent possible as it means
    interchangeable usage, better utilisation of
    handling equipments, and lesser spares
    holding.
    • Install a regular preventive maintenance
    programme for material handling
    equipments so that downtime is minimum
