TUTORIAL WORK

What is Material Handling?Material handling is the movement,

protection, storage and control of

materials and products throughout

manufacturing, warehousing, distribution,

consumption and disposal. As a process,

material handling incorporates a wide

range of manual, semi-automated and

automated equipment and systems that

support logistics and make the supply

chain work.

Application of Material HandlingTheir application helps with:

• Forecasting

• Resource allocation

• Production planning

• Flow and process management

• Inventory management and control

• Customer delivery

• After-sales support and service

A company’s material handling system and processes are put in place to improve

customer service, reduce inventory, shorten delivery time, and lower overall handling

costs in manufacturing, distribution and transportation.

Forecasting

• This comprehensive

forecast of material

handling equipment

manufacturing is

released each

quarter and looks 12

to 18 months forward

to anticipate changes

in the material

handling and logistics

market place.

Resource Allocation

•Resource allocation is

a process and strategy

involving a company

deciding where scarce

resources should be

used in the production

of goods or services.

Production Planning

• It establishes handling

and storage activities,

which is cost effective

into integrated system

design.

FLOW AND PROCESS

• The flow is the most

important parameter

of a production

system; almost all

improvements are

reflected directly in

the process flow of a

plant, which impacts

directly in the costs

of the organization.

INVENTORY AND MANAGEMENT

CONTROL

•The objective of

inventory management

is to provide

uninterrupted

production, sales,

and/or customer

services levels at the

minimum cost..

CUSTOMER DELIVERY

• The fee for order

depends on the type of

product that the

company are

purchasing. The time

are depending of size

weight and volume.

Transport Equipment• 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.), while

positioning equipment is used to manipulate material at a single location. The major

subcategories of transport equipment are conveyors, cranes, and industrial trucks.

Material can also be transported manually using no equipment.

Conveyors Cranes Industrial Trucks

Difference between use of conveyors, cranes, and industrial trucks for transport with respect to their path and area of operation.

Unit Load Information• Unit load formation equipment is used to restrict materials so that they maintain their

integrity when handled a single load during transport and for storage. 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.

Storage EquipmentStorage equipment is used for holding or buffering materials over a period of

time. The design of each type of storage equipment, along with its use in

warehouse design, represents a trade-off between minimizing handling costs, by

making material easily accessible, and maximizing the utilization of space (or

cube).
