Materials handling involves the movement, storage, and protection of materials. It aims to lower costs by reducing unit handling costs, cycle times, and damages while improving productivity, quality, and storage capacity. The selection of materials handling equipment depends on factors like the production problem, volume, layout, material properties, and capabilities/safety of personnel. Common equipment includes conveyors, cranes, industrial trucks, and auxiliary equipment. The design of handling systems is based on whether they are equipment-oriented, material-oriented, method-oriented, or function-oriented.
Materials handling
- 2. Materials handling is the art and science of moving, packing and storing of substances in any form.
- 3. Function of production control Concerned with scheduling of production control Material Handling adds value to product cost Material Handling increases effectiveness of in plant layout by reducing the cost
- 4. To Lowers unit materials handling cost To reduce manufacturing cycle time To provide better control of the flow of materials To provide better working conditions To provide Contribution for better quality by avoiding damages to products To Increase storage capacity To provide higher productivity at lower manufacturing costs
- 5. Material should be moved as little as possible Reduction in time by using shortest routers and mechanical material handling equipment The material movement should be in lots rather than in individual units Design of material handling equipment should be such that it can increase the effectiveness Gravity should be used Rehandling and back tracking of materials should be avoided Periodically Repairing ,Maintaince & Checkup of existing material handling equipments
- 6. Factors affecting the Selection of Materials Handling Equipment Capabilities of the Production Human element handling problem involved equipment available
- 7. Volume of Production to be maintained Production Layout of plant & Problem building facilities Class of materials to be handled
- 8. Adaptability Flexibility Speed Load capacity Space Equipments requirements Factors Power Supervision required Ease of Maintaince Cost Environment
- 9. Human Factors Capabilities of Safety of Personnel manpower
- 10. 1. Equipments oriented systems :- a) Convey or Systems b) Tractor transfer system c) Fork lift truck d) Industrial truck system e) Underground system 2. Material Oriented Systems a) Unit handling system b) Bulk handling system c) Liquid handling system
- 11. 3. Methods oriented system a) Manual systems b) Automated systems c) Job shop handling system d) Mass production system 4. Function oriented system a) Transportation systems b) Conveying systems c) Transferring systems d) Elevating systems
- 12. 1. Conveyers 2. Cranes, Elevators and Hoists 3. Industrial Trucks 4. Auxiliary Equipments
- 13. 1. Conveyors- Gravity or powered devices Used for moving loads from one point to point over fixed paths.
- 18. These are overhead devices used for moving varying loads intermittently between points within an area.
