    There are three perspectives on material handling: the traditional point of view focuses on moving materials between locations within a plant; the plant wide concern views the overall flow of materials through a plant; the system point of view considers material handling, distribution, and related functions as an integrated system. An effective material handling system is important as it can reduce costs, though the movements themselves do not add value; properly selecting material handling methods and coordinating with plant layout enhances effectiveness and efficiency of operations.
