Materials handling systems and the correct equipment mean that employees don't have any need to lift heavy items or reach high areas.
The Material Handling Institute's researchers and professionals created a document outlining the 10 principles for material handling in order to create a more safe and productive materials handling system.
Material handling is the movement, protection, storage and control of materials and products throughout manufacturing, warehousing, distribution, consumption and disposal. As a process, material handling incorporates a wide range of manual, semi-automated and automated equipment and systems that support logistics and make the supply chain work. Their application helps with:
Employees can be freed from monotonous tasks (e.g. lifting heavy objects) and labor-intensive tasks by using materials handling systems. This will allow them to reduce stress and increase their satisfaction at work.
