Principles of Material Handling (contd.) 10. Equipment Selection: In selecting handling equipment, consider all aspects of the material handled, the movement, & the method to be used 11. Standardization: Standardize handling methods as well as type & sizes of handling equipment 12. Adaptability: Use methods & equipment that can best perform a variety of tasks & applications when special-purpose equipment is not justified 130 Dead Weight: Reduce the ratio of dead weight of mobile handling equipment to load carried Plan for optimum utilization of handling equipment & 14. Utilization: manpower •. Principles of Material Handling (contd.) 15.

Maintenance: Plan for preventive maintenance & schedule repairs of all handling equipment 16. Obsolescence: Replace obsolete handling methods & equipment when more efficient methods of equipment will improve operations 17. Control: Use material Handling activities to improve control of production, inventory & order handling 18. Capacity: Use handling equipment to help achieve the desired production capacity 19. Performance: Determine the effectiveness of handling performance in terms of expense per unit handled 20. Safety: Provide suitable methods & equipment for safe handling •. Advantages 1.

Permits high capacity for moving large number of items Their speed is adjustable Handling combined with other activities such as processing & inspection is possible They are versatile & can be on floor or overhead Temporary storage of loads b/w work station is possible (particularly overhead conveyors) Load transfer is automatic & does not require the assistance of many operators Straight line paths or aisles are not required Utilization of the cube is feasible through the use of overhead conveyors •. Level of Mechanization 1. Manual & Dependent on Physical Effort This level also includes manually driven equipment such as hand truck 2.

Mechanized Power instead of physical effort is used for driving the eqpt. Some trucks, conveyors, & cranes fall into this level. Here operators are needed for operating the eqpt as opposed providing the power 3. Mechanized Complemented with Computers It is an extension of 2nd level The function of the computers is to generate documents specifying the Moves & Operations •. Automated Minimum human intervention is used for driving & operating the eqpt, & most of these functions are performed by computers.

Examples includes Conveyors, AGVs, & AS/RS The equipment usually receives instructions form key boards, pushbuttons, & tape or card readers 5. Fully Automated This level is similar to the 4th level, but computers perform the additional task of on-line control, thus eliminating the need for human intervention The cost & complexity of designing the system increases as the degree of mechanization increases. However, efficiency of operations & labour savings can result in cost & complexity justification.
