3. What is Material Handling?
 Material Handling can be defined as the
function of moving the right material to the
right place in the right time, in the right
amount, in sequence, and in the right
condition to minimize production cost.
 Also MH is the efficient short-distance
movement of goods that usually takes
place within the confines of a building such
as a plant or a warehouse or between a
building and a transportation agency.

4. MATERIAL HANDLING SYSTEM
 Material Handling has four dimensions:
Movement
Time
Quantity
Space
 Material Handling is the movement, storage,
control and protection of materials, goods
and products throughout the process of
manufacturing, distribution, consumption
and disposal

5. Goals of Material Handling
 The primary goal is to reduce unit costs of
production
 Maintain or improve product quality, reduce damage of
materials
 Promote safety and improve working conditions
 Promote productivity
 material should flow in a straight line
 use gravity! It is free power
 move more material at one time
 mechanize material handling
 automate material handling

7. Material handling industry
 The material handling industry
manufactures and distributes the
equipment and services required to
implement material handling systems.
 Material handling systems range from
simple pallet rack and shelving projects,
to complex conveyor belt and
Automated Storage and Retrieval Syste
ms
(AS/RS).

9. PALLET
 A pallet is a flat transport structure that supports
goods in a stable fashion while being lifted by a
forklift,front loader or other jacking device.
 A pallet is the structural foundation of a unit load
which allows handling and storage efficiencies.
Goods are often placed on a pallet secured with
strapping, stretch wrap and shipped.
 While most pallets are wooden, pallets also are
made of plastic, metal, and paper. Each material
has advantages and disadvantages relative to
the others.

11. Automated storage and retrieval system
 An automated storage and retrieval
system (ASRS or AS/RS) consists of a variety
of computer-controlled methods for
automatically placing and retrieving loads from
specific storage locations.
 It is typically used in applications where: there is
a very high volume of loads being moved into
and out of storage; storage density is important
because of space constraints; accuracy is
critical because of potential expensive damages
to the load. AS/RS can be used with standard
loads as well as nonstandard loads.[

12.  AS/RS systems are devices designed for
automated storage and retrieval of parts
and items in manufacturing, distribution,
retail, wholesale and institutions. They
focus on bringing "goods to the man"
rather than manual walking and
searching. Space savings, increased
productivity/reduced labor, increased
accuracy and reduced inventory levels are
some of the primary benefits.

14. Material handling equipment
 Material handling equipment is all
equipment that relates to the movement,
storage, control and protection of materials,
goods and products throughout the process
of manufacturing, distribution, consumption
and disposal.

15. Types of Material Handling Equipment
 Storage and handling equipment
 Engineered systems
 Industrial trucks
 Bulk material handling
 On-Rails Transfer Cart
 Conveyors

16. Storage and handling equipment
 Storage and handling equipment is a
category within the material handling
industry.
 The equipment that falls under this
description is usually non-automated
storage equipment.
 Products such as pallet racking,
shelving, carts, etc. belong to storage
and handling.

17. Engineered systems
 Engineered systems are typically custom
engineered material handling systems.
 Conveyors, Handling Robots, AS/RS, and
most other automated material handling
systems fall into this category.
 Engineered systems are often a combination
of products integrated to one system.

18.  Many distribution centers will optimize
storage and picking by utilizing
engineered systems such as pick
modules and sortation systems.

19. Industrial turcks
 Industrial trucks usually refer to operator driven
motorized warehouse vehicles, powered
manually, by gasoline, propane or electrically.
 Industrial trucks assist the material handling
system with versatility; they can go where
engineered systems cannot.
 Forklift trucks are the most common example
of industrial trucks but certainly aren't the extent
of the category. Tow tractors and stock chasers
are additional examples of industrial trucks.

21. Bulk material handling
 Bulk material handling equipment is used to
move and store bulk materials such as ore,
liquids, and cereals.
 This equipment is often seen on farms, mines,
shipyards and refineries.
 Bulk material handling systems are typically
composed of stationary machinery such as
conveyor belts, screw conveyors, stackers,
reclaimers, bucket elevators, truck dumpers,
railcar dumpers or wagon tipplers, shiploaders

23. Material Handling System in Flexible Manufacturing
 The material handling system (MHS) is a
fundamental part of a Flexible Manufacturing
system since it interconnects the different
processes supplying and taking out raw
material, workpieces, subproducts, parts and
final products.
 Due to the automated nature of the whole
production process, the MHS must respond in
concert with timeliness for all requirements of
the processes and systems.

25. Ways in Which Material Handling Equipment Can Improve
Efficiency
 Material handling equipment is used to increase
output, control costs, and maximize productivity.
 There are several ways to determine if the
material handling equipment is achieving peak
efficiency.
 These include capturing all relevant data related
to the warehouse’s operation, measuring how
many times an item is “touched” from the time it
is ordered until it leaves the building, making
sure you are using the proper picking technology,
and keeping system downtime to a minimum......

26. Advantages Of Material Handling
System:
 Improve efficiency of a production
system by ensuring the right quantity of
materials delivered at the right place at
the right time most economically.
 Cut down indirect labor cost.
 Reduce damage of materials during
storage and movement.

27. •Maximize space utilization by proper
storage of materials and thereby reduce
storage and handling cost.
•Minimize accident during materials
handling.
•Reduce overall cost by improving
materials handling.
•Improve customer services by supplying
materials in a manner convenient for
handlings.
•Increase efficiency and saleability of plant
and equipment with integral materials
handling features.

28. Disadvantages Of Material Handling
System:
 Additional capital cost involved in any materials
handling system.
 Once a materials handling system get
implemented, flexibility for further changes gets
greatly reduced.
 With an integrated materials handling system
installed, failure/stoppage in any portion of it leads
to increased downtime of the production system.
 Materials handling system needs maintenance,
hence any addition to materials handling means
additional maintenance facilities and costs.

29. Essential Of Good Material Handling
System:
 Efficient and safe movement of
materials to the desired place.
 Timely movement of the materials when
needed.
 Supply of materials at the desired rate.
 Storing of materials utilizing minimum
space.
 Lowest cost solution to the materials
handling activities.
