Material Handling Objectives
Cost Savings: Cost-cutting programs have two broad goals: to lower the cost of Material Handling or to lower total production costs through improved handling procedures.
Increased Capacity.... Improved Working Conditions.... Product Value Addition.
I Material handling equipment must be capable of performing the basic functions of material handling (storage and transportation).(ii) Material handling equipment must facilitate activities such as production planning, inspection, and process control.
Heavy loads should be placed on the lower or middle shelves. Long, tall, or top-heavy items should be stored on their sides or secured to prevent tipping. To access materials in higher locations, place ladders on stable, level surfaces and use stair platforms. Properly lift materials.
