    The key takeaways are about understanding the role of material handling in logistics and learning about types of material handling systems, their features, and selection criteria.

    The different stages of material handling are unloading incoming material, moving material to storage, lifting material for order picking, moving material for inspection and packing, and loading material for transport.

    The principles of material handling are to prefer standard equipment, equipment for continuous flow, portable/movable equipment, minimum dead weight to payload ratio, and incorporating gravity flow.

    Material Handling Systems

    For exploiting productivity potential in logistics

    Learning objectives are:


    To understand: Role of material handling in logistics Types of material handling systems and their features Selection criteria for material handling systems and equipment

    Material Handling Stages


    Unloading the incoming material from transport vehicle, Moving the unloaded material to assigned storage place in the warehouse, Lifting the material from storage place during order picking, Moving material for inspection and packing, Loading the boxes/cartons on the transport vehicle.

    Material Handling Principles


    Standard equipment should be preferred to keep low capital investments,
    Equipment designed for maximum continuous flow should be preferred,
    Portable or movable equipment to be preferred , Ratio of dead weight to pay load should be minimum for handling equipment, Gravity flow should be incorporated in the system design.

    Manual
    Mechanical Semi-automatic Automatic Information guides

    Selection Criteria: Material Handling Systems


    Volumes to be handled
    Speed in handling Productivity Product characteristics (weight, size, shape) Nature of the product (hazardous, perishable, crushable)

    Material Handling

    Manual Trolley
    Versatile For smaller loads For short distance

    Material Handling

    Forklift
    Manual or mechanized Portable Large distance travel Medium & large loads handling Vertical movement Intermittent duty Directional undeliverable

    Material Handling
    Overhead Crane
    Carry heavy loads Continuous duty Size, shape no bar

    Material handling at sea ports

    Advanced Material Handling Systems


    Pneumatic tube system
    For handling material in powered form

    Semi-automatic system
    Sorting devices Robotics

    Automatic guided vehicle system


    Material handling on a fixed path Computer operated guided vehicle Speed of operation 150-250 feet per minute

    Automatic system
    Human factor eliminated Operator required for programming and controls Productivity

    Material Storage Systems


    For space efficiency and storage density

    Learning objectives are :


    To understand: Material storage principles Unit Load storage Material storage method Design of storage system

    Storage Principles
    High storage density Minimum travel distance Ease in material movement Ease in material storage and retrieval Material and human safety

    Benefits of Scientific Storage


    Ensures space economy Enhances warehouse throughput Ease in material location and tracing Ensures security, safety and housekeeping

    Storage Methods
    Block Storage Pallets Racks Shelves Bins Modular Storage Automated Storage and Retrieval

    Storage Methods
    Block Storage

    Block Storage
    Advantages Simplest system No investment Stacking on platform or floor Wide variety of products can be stored

    Disadvantages Limitation on stack height Loading/unloading problem

    Storage Methods

    Rack storage

    Load Unitization
    The unit load is constructed by bringing together large number of individual items of identical configuration, so as to make a large load, which ensures convenience during storage, handling and transportation.

    Pallet storage

    Pallet Storage
    Advantages Helps in optimum utilization of storage space Increases stability of products during transportation Lower handling cost due to unitizing Increases speed of material flow Reduces frequency of material handling Facilitates handling loads with machines Disadvantages Does not give compete protection to product from environmental effects
