*Principle’s of Material Handling
04/11/2023@ Kamlesh Jain 2
All material handling should be the result of a deliberate plan where the needs, performance objectives and functional specification of the proposed methods are completely defined at the outset.
*PLANNING PRINCIPLE
Definition: A plan is a prescribed course of action that is defined in advance of implementation. In its simplest form a material handing plan defines the material (what) and the moves (when and where); together they define the
method (how and who).
04/11/2023@ Kamlesh Jain 3
Material movement and storage activities should be fully integrated to form a coordinated, operational system which spans receiving, inspection, storage, production, assembly, packaging, unitizing, order selection, shipping, transportation and the handling of returns.
*SYSTEM PRINCIPLE
Definition: A system is a collection of interacting and/or interdependent entities that form a unified whole.
04/11/2023@ Kamlesh Jain 4
Reduce, combine or eliminate unnecessary movements of equipment. Deliver the material at correct place, Eliminate rehandling, Reduce variety of equipment's
*Simplification Principle
04/11/2023@ Kamlesh Jain 5
Material flow should be based on lay out or operation sequence. Avoid over crowding, Eliminate obstacles on the way. Move greatest weight for least distance. Plan related area of work together.
*Material flow Principal
04/11/2023@ Kamlesh Jain 6
Utilize gravity where possible. Use slides, chutes, hoppers wherever possible.
*Gravity principle
04/11/2023@ Kamlesh Jain 7
Unit loads shall be appropriately sized and configured in a way which achieves the material flow and inventory objectives at each stage in the supply chain.
*Unit size Principal
Definition: A unit load is one that can be stored or moved as a single entity at one time, such as a pallet, container or tote, regardless of the number of individual items that make up the load.
04/11/2023@ Kamlesh Jain 8
Effective and efficient use must be made of all available space.
*SPACE UTILIZATION
Definition: Space in material handling is three dimensional and therefore is counted as cubic space.
04/11/2023@ Kamlesh Jain 9
Safe handling methods and equipment for better working condition, provide guards, Handling equipment must be in good working conditions. High light danger areas, Disposal of fumes, smoke, dust, Keep floor clean, Keep aisles clear
*Safety Principle
04/11/2023@ Kamlesh Jain 10
Use of mechanized handling equipment where quantities are large, long and frequent, Replace manual handling where large no. of man power is required with mechanized handling. e.g. earth moving equipment, concrete mixture
*Mechanization Principle
Definition: Automation is a technology concerned with the application of electro-mechanical devices, electronics and
computer-based systems to operate and control production and service activities. It suggests the linking of multiple mechanical
operations to create a system that can be controlled by programmed instructions.
04/11/2023@ Kamlesh Jain 11
Select equipment which is capable of handling variety of tasks. Buy adjustable racks. Buy versatile equipment. Use accessories or attachments.
e.g. Vacuum cleaner
*Flexibility Principle
04/11/2023@ Kamlesh Jain 12
Select the equipment after considering all aspects of material movements and the method. Cost per unit handling must be considered. It is a long term investment.
*Equipment selection Principle
04/11/2023@ Kamlesh Jain 13
Material handling methods, equipment, controls and software should be standardized within the limits of achieving overall performance objectives and without sacrificing needed flexibility , modularity and throughput.
*Standardization Principle
Definition: Standardization means less variety and customization in the methods and
equipment employed.
04/11/2023@ Kamlesh Jain 14
Reduce weight of the equipment. It should have less dead weight to pay load ratio. Use light weight pallets, containers, skids.
*Light weight Principle
04/11/2023@ Kamlesh Jain 15
It should have less idle time. Reduce loading and unloading time. Use tractor trailer for loading and unloading and tractor can be used for some other purpose. Minimum down time
*Motion Principle
04/11/2023@ Kamlesh Jain 16
Reduce unproductive time or idle time. Deliver material at desired rate. Use unskilled labour. Equipment must be fully utilized.
*Idle time Principle
04/11/2023@ Kamlesh Jain 17
Obsolete equipment must be replaced by new one or the latest one.
*Obsolescence Principle
04/11/2023@ Kamlesh Jain 18
Use preventive maintenance for the equipment. Daily maintenance. Train the operators.
*Maintenance Principle
04/11/2023@ Kamlesh Jain 19
Control production and inventory by material handling equipment. Material should be moved with lots, batches or containers. Movement of the material as per schedule.
*Control Principle
04/11/2023@ Kamlesh Jain 20
Production capacity must be fully achieved. Ensure desired rate flow of the material. Plan to utilize forward and return trips. Utilize over head space. Wider aisles for speedy movements
*Capacity Principle
04/11/2023@ Kamlesh Jain 21
Performance of the equipment must be measured in terms of cost per unit of handling, safe working conditions etc.
*Performance Principle
