Material Handling

Prepared by:
Mr. Nishant Agrawal
Materials Handling

Materials handling is
the art and science of moving,
packing and storing of
substances in any form.
Material Handling

 It is defined as art and science of moving, packaging,

and storing of substances of firms.

A. Creation of time and place utility.

B. Movement and storage of material at lowest possible

cost through use of proper methods and equipments.

C. Lifting, shifting and placing of materials which effect

saving in money, time and place


Scope of Material Handling

 This activity within an organization depends on the type of the product

manufactured, the size of organization , the value to product and value of the

activity being performed and relative importance of materials handling to the

enterprise.

 There are 3 perspectives about material handling

1. The traditional point of view

2. Plant wide concern for overall flow of materials

3. The system point of view


1. Tradition point view of material handling from one location
to another within individual plant. The concern is to find
best way to move materials from one place to
another within plant

2. It concern focuses the attention on overall flow of material


in the plant. It is inter-relationship between all
handling problems and possibility of establishing an
overall material handling plan.

3. It visualization of material handling problems,


physical distribution activities. This point of view involves
Importance of Material Handling

A. Efficient material handling is important to manufacturing

operations. Material send by vendors must be loaded,


move through inspections and products operations to
stores and finally shipment department. These movement
do not add value to product but they do add to cost.

B. Material handling analysis is subset of plant layout. Plant

layout and material handling are all part of design of


production facility. A good plant layout enables an
operation to use most efficient handling method. Efficient
Operation of appropriate material handling methods
Importance of Material Handling

 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


Objectives of Materials Handling

 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 through better utilization of


storage areas.

 To provide higher productivity at lower manufacturing costs


Material Handling Principles
 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

 Rehandling of materials should be avoided

 Periodically Repairing , Maintaince & Checkup of existing material

Types of Materials Handling Equipment
1. Conveyers

2. Cranes, Elevators and Hoists

3. Industrial Trucks

4. Auxiliary Equipments

5. Miscellaneous Equipments
1. Conveyors-

 Powered devices

 Used for moving loads from one point to point

over fixed paths.


Belt Conveyor-Motor driven belt usually made of
metal fabric
Chain Conveyor-Motor driven chain that
drags material along a metal side base.
Roller Conveyor- Boxes , large parts or units loads
roll on top of a series of rollers mounted on a rigid frame.
Pneumatic Conveyor-
High volume of air flows through a tube
carrying materials along with air flow.
2. Cranes, Elevators and Hoists

These are overhead devices used for moving varying

loads intermittently between points within an area.


Cranes – Devices mounted on overheard rail or
ground wheels or rails .They lift, swing and transport
large and heavy materials
Elevators –Types of cranes that lift materials –
usually between floors or buildings
Hoists- Move vertically or horizontally in limited area
3. Industrial Trucks- May be electric, diesel,

gasoline or gas powered


Fort lift Truck
Pallet truck-
Auxiliary Equipments - Devices or attachments

used with handling equipments to make their use

more effective and versatile


Miscellaneous Equipments

 Pipe lines which are closed tubes that transport liquids

by mean of pump

 Automatic transfer device which automatically grasp

material , hold them firmly while operations are being

performed and move them to other location

 Automated guided vehicle system

 Industrial Robot
Skid boxes
