    Role and Importance of

    Handling System

    By
    Dr. P. Ravi Kumar
    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.
    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.
    Role of Handling system
     Handling system is used in industries to keep
    track of and manage their operations.
     It begins from the conception of raw material
    to the final product and its delivery effectively
    and efficiently.
     It is evidently seen in logistical departments,
    services industry, supply chain, inventory and
    etc.
    Importance of Handling system
     Material handling can improve customer service by
    making products easy to find, move, and ship out; cut
    costs by reducing the amount of time spent moving
    products;, and reduce product damages by properly
    transporting products.
     These handling systems make sure that the operations
    are run smoothly. They save the companies from
    financial back lag by updating the status often. This is
    crucial to any industry as it is considered core to
    running the functions.
    The Importance of Material Handling in any Industry
     For many large companies, their warehouse is the hub of their
    operations. The success of their business depends on the safe
    and efficient transport of their product from one area of the
    warehouse to another.
     Here are 5 reasons why strict materials handling guidelines are
    crucial to avoiding unnecessary costs.
    1. Avoiding Workplace Accidents/Workplace Compensation Costs
    About 21% of permanent disabilities and over 25% of
    temporary disabilities can be attributed to workplace accidents
    due to the mishandling of materials. The key to avoiding this is
    having the correct equipment and machinery along with the
    well-trained staff. This will greatly reduce employee injuries
    and lost sick days
    2. Efficiency Saves You Money
    A well-organized warehouse with the most efficient
    materials handling tools will translate into fewer
    misplaced items. Employees will waste less time
    searching for products. This will save you money.

    3. Reduces Product Loss


    No company wants to incur product damage and loss in
    their warehouse which will decrease your profit margin.
    Implementing good materials handling practices in your
    warehouse will go a long way to preventing product
    damage and loss.
    4. The Importance of Warehouse Layout
    Smart storage solutions will create a safe environment for your
    employees.
    An open plan of your warehouse will facilitate easy materials
    handling while minimizing hazardous conditions.

    5. Customer Service Matters


    As a consumer, I typically choose a company based on the quality of
    their customer service. The faster employees can find the products in
    your warehouse, the faster you can deliver them to your customers.
    Correct materials handling contributes to streamlining the
    coordination of your warehouse operations. Better customer service
    gives your company the edge over your competition.
