2. Function of moving right material to right place at
right time in right amount in sequence, in right
condition to minimize production cost.
Integrated system involving handling, storing and
controlling of materials.
Material has a broad meaning covering raw
materials, work in progress, subassemblies and
finished assemblies.

3. Objective
 To ensure that the material in the right amount is
safely delivered to the desired destination at right
time and at minimum cost.
 Ensure minimum cost
 Compatibility with other manufacturing equipment
but also to meet safety concerns.

4. GOALS OF MATERIAL
HANDLING
Reduce unit costs of production
Maintain or improve product quality,
reduce damage of materials
Promote safety and improve working
conditions
Promote increased use of facilities
Reduce tare weight(dead weight)

5. System: A complex unity formed of many often
diverse parts subject to a common plan of serving a
common purpose.
Characteristics of system is that parts called
subsystems are interrelated and guided by an objective
for which the system exist.
Material handling is a subsystem of production system

6. Design or method to be adopted
Types of materials handling equipment to be used
Different operations like
packing/unpacking, movement and storage involved
Maintenance required for the equipment employed
Mode of transportation by the raw materials
suppliers, distributors/customers, waste/scrap
collectors etc….

7. Essential Requirements of a 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
