A material handling system that works effectively will allow your company to keep the stock you need in smaller spaces, reduce the time it takes to do internal operations such as picking and transport, control inventory in real-time and reduce operating costs, and optimize the flow of goods within your facility.
6. Space Utilization: You can optimize your warehouse space by organizing it. You can make sure your warehouse is clean and tidy by organizing the aisles, stacking inventory at vertical height and grouping similar products.
The Material Handling Institute, a group of professionals and researchers, created a document with the 10 principles in material handling. It was designed to make materials handling safer and more productive.

Material handling equipment can be divided into 4 main categories: storage, handling, bulk, industrial trucks, engineered systems, and storage and handling. Let's take a closer look at each.
It is important to use best practices when designing a material handling system. This will ensure that all equipment and processes in a facility, including semi-automated, automated, and manual, work together as one system. A properly designed system will enhance customer service, reduce inventory and deliver faster than expected. These principles include:
Non-automated storage equipment tends to be the most common. They are often grouped together with engineered systems. When materials are not being transported, storage equipment is used for holding or buffering them. These periods could be temporary pauses during long term transportation or long term storage to allow stock buildup. Most storage equipment refers primarily to racks, shelves and pallets that allow materials to be stored in an organized manner for transport or consumption. Many companies have explored ways to improve the efficiency of storage equipment. They have created proprietary packaging that allows products or materials of certain types to be conserved space while still in inventory.

Planning Principles Include:
Principle of Planning: All material handling activities should be planned.
The systems principle states that handling activities should be integrated and coordinated.
The Simplification Principle... The Material Flow Principle... The Gravity Principle... The Unit Size Principle...
Principle of Space Utilization:... Principle of Safety:
Material handling systems and processes that are well-designed reduce inventory, shorten delivery times, improve customer service, and lower manufacturing, distribution, and transportation costs. Material handling systems are used in a variety of industries, including aerospace, in addition to warehousing and storage.
