1. MATERIAL HANDLING
AND EQUIPMENT
FOR MANUFACTURING
FACILITIES DESIGN

2. MATERIAL HANDLING AND EQUIPMENT
• Material handling equipment (MHE) is mechanical equipment used for the
movement, storage, control, and protection of materials, goods and products
throughout the process of manufacturing, distribution, consumption, and
disposal.
• is any machine or tool that is used to transport, process, store, or package
materials.

3. 4 MAJORS DIFFERENT TYPES OF
EQUIPMENT
• Transport equipment
• Positioning equipment
• Unit load formation equipment, and
• Storage equipment.

4. TRANSPORT EQUIPMENT
is used to move material from one location to
another (e.g., between workplaces, between a loading
dock and a storage area, etc.) within a facility or at a
site. The major subcategories of transport
equipment are: Conveyors. Equipment used to move
materials over a fixed path between specific points.
CONVEYERS

5. POSITIONING EQUIPMENT
• used to handle material at a single location so that
the material is in the correct position for subsequent
handling, machining, transport, or storage.
• Unlike transport equipment, positioning equipment
is usually used for handling at a single workplace.
• Examples of positioning equipment
include lift/tilt/turn tables, hoists, balancers,
manipulators, and industrial robots.

6. UNIT LOAD FORMATION
EQUIPMENT
If materials are self-restraining (e.g., a single part or
interlocking parts), then they can be formed into a
unit load with no equipment. Examples of unit load
formation equipment include pallets, skids, slip-
sheets, tote pans, bins/baskets, cartons, bags, and
crates.

7. A. COST JUSTIFICATION
• Is a way to show why the proposed costs for
a particular project are needed to accomplish
the project tasks
• It is beneficial to justify the costs as this is a
way to clearly identify how necessary it is to
spend the proposed money.

8. STORAGE EQUIPMENT
means equipment used for recording and
retrieval of data connected to physical and
logical storage resources, including storage
elements, storage devices, appliances, virtual
devices, disk volumes and file resources.

9. B. GOALS OF MATERIAL HANDLING
• The primary goals is to reduce unit costs of production.
• Maintain or improve products quality
• Reduce damage of materials
• Promote safety and improve working conditions

10. C. TEN PRINCIPLES OF MATERIAL
HANDLING
• Material handling is an essential process in many industries and involves the
movement, storage, control, and protection of materials and products
throughout the manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution processes.
• The goal of material handling operations is to improve efficiency,
productivity, safety, and profitability while reducing costs and waste.
• To achieve these goals, there are ten principles of material handling that
everyone involved in the process should follow, whether reviewing existing
methods or looking at new processes. They include:

11. 1. Planning- involves identifying
the materials that need to be
moved, determining the best
way to move them, and
ensuring that the process is safe
and efficient. When using the
planning principle to assess a
material handling task.

12. 2. Standardizations- principle
involves using the same
processes and material handling
equipment for similar tasks to
reduce variability and improve
efficiency.
Electric tugs and tows are often
used for a variety of load
movement tasks, helping to drive
standardizations of material
handling equipment and
maximize efficiency.

13. 3. Work
• This involves minimizing the amount of
physical work required within material
handling systems to move materials by
using equipment and automation, rather
than pushing the limits of human
capabilities.
Putting stress and strain on people only
creates risk, so reducing manual
handling helps to protect the workforce,
keeping them safe, but also empowers them to
be more efficient.

14. 4. Ergonomics
• The Ergonomic principle involves
designing workstations and
material handling equipment to
minimize physical strain and
fatigue
• The Ergonomic principle is one
we pay close attention to
at MasterMover, when designing
material handling equipment, to
ensure our electric tugs and tows
are easy to use for safe and
effective operations!

15. 5. Unit Load
• Looking at Unit loads involves
consolidating materials into a
single load for more efficient
movement, to maximize physical
material flow.
• Tugger trains of trolleys,
platforms or dollies are often a
good way to way to move more
material in one go, reducing total
trips or the number of times a
task is carried out.

16. 6. Space Utilization
• The Space Utilization principle
involves maximizing the use of
available space for handling and
storage activities. Warehouse space
is often at a premium - even in
terms of overhead space - and the
same is true in manufacturing
environments.

17. 7. System
• The Systems principle involves
using a coordinated system of
processes, equipment, and
people to improve material flow,
improve operational efficiency
and reduce waste.
• A coordinated system is
essential to ensure material
handling processes, and the
wider operation, runs
smoothly.

18. 8. Automation
• The Automation principle involves
using technology to automate
material movement for improved
efficiency and safety.
• Ultimately if a material handling
task is being repeated often, and
especially where it involves regular
travel times, AGV solutions could
be the answer.

19. 9. Environment
• This involves considering the impact of material handling processes and
material handling systems on the environment and taking steps to reduce
waste and improve sustainability.
• Utilizing battery powered material handling equipment instead of ICE diesel
equipment is often a good place to start, with simple charging, zero
emissions and a quieter running noise level.

20. 10. Life Cycle Cost
• The Life Cycle Cost principle involves considering the total cost of
material handling processes, including material handling equipment and
time to run them.
• Sacrificing productivity by not investing in the right equipment and
processes will only have a negative impact ultimately.

21. D. RECEIVING AND SHIPPING
• Shippers and receivers send, accept and record the movement of parts,
supplies, materials, equipment and stock to and from an establishment. They
are employed by retail and wholesale establishments, manufacturing
companies, and other commercial or industrial establishments.
• Shippers and receivers perform some or all of the following duties:
• Determine the method of shipment and prepare bills, invoices and other
shipping documents.

22. • .Know safe storage and handling procedures for various chemicals and
materials
• Know proper shipping procedures for the transportation of dangerous
goods.
SHIPPING AND RECEIVING RESPONSIBILITIES:
• Manages the shipment and receipt of all products, materials, and supplies.
• Collaborates and communicates with logistics technicians, customer service
representatives, service providers, and others involved in the shipment and
receipt of products.

23. • Assemble containers and crates, pack goods to be shipped, and prepare to
identify information and shipping instructions.
• Oversee loading and unloading of goods from trucks, etc.
• Inspect and verify incoming goods against invoices or other documents,
record shortages and reject damaged goods.
• Unpack and route goods to appropriate storage areas
• Maintain internal record-keeping systems.
• May operate forklift, hand truck or other equipment to load, unload,
transport and store goods.

24. E. STORE, FABRICATION, ASSEMBLING AND
PAINT
• Stores, fabrication, assembly, and paint departments are crucial components of a
manufacturing plant. When it comes to material handling in these departments,
workers need to take several precautions when moving materials mechanically. They
should ensure that the equipment they use is in good working condition and that
they are trained to operate it safely. Additionally, workers should be mindful of the
weight and size of the materials being moved and should always use appropriate
lifting techniques to avoid injuries. It's also important to secure materials properly
during transit to prevent damage. Furthermore, workers should follow all safety
protocols and wear the necessary protective gear when handling materials
mechanically to ensure their safety and the safety of those around them.

25. • Material handling in these departments is essential for ensuring that materials
are readily available and that parts and finished goods are properly protected
during transit to and from warehouses. The goal is to move, store, protect,
and handle materials efficiently, reducing defects, saving costs, and
promoting overall efficiency. This involves the use of various material
handling systems such as carts, racks, shelving, and other equipment to
ensure smooth manufacturing, packaging, transportation, storage, and
distribution processes. It's important to consider the design criteria to save
space and promote efficiency in these departments.

26. F. PACKOUT AND WAREHOUSING
• Pack out and warehousing are crucial aspects of material handling that play a
significant role in the efficiency and productivity of the supply chain. Pack
out involves the integration of automated presentation of goods and pack-
out equipment, emphasizing the seamless and organized packaging of
products for storage or transportation. On the other hand, warehousing
encompasses the storage and management of materials, ensuring efficient
handling from receiving to shipping and even returns through reverse
logistics. Both pack out and warehousing are essential for optimizing material
flow, simplifying processes, maximizing space utilization, and minimizing
costs in the supply chain.

27. G. BULK MATERIAL HANDLING
• Bulk material handling refers to the process of managing and transporting large
quantities of materials such as ores, coal, grains, or aggregates. This involves the
design and implementation of systems to efficiently handle bulk materials, including
their storage, transportation, and processing. Bulk material handling equipment
includes conveyors, stackers, reclaimers, and ship loaders, among others, which are
essential for industries dealing with bulk commodities. Efficient bulk material
handling is crucial for optimizing production processes, reducing operational costs,
and ensuring the smooth flow of materials throughout the supply chain. It plays a
significant role in enhancing overall productivity and operational efficiency within
various industrial sectors.
