MATERIAL HANDLING

Material handling is the function of

moving the right material to the
right place at the right time, in
the right amount, in sequence, and
in the right condition.
 PRINCIPLES OF HANDLING MATERIALS

1. Orientation Principle
This principle looks at the existing system. It is any gap in the process that needs to be filled or how the existing methods can be incorporated into the new
system.

2. Planning
The planning principle considers the handling and storage requirements, contingencies that may arise, and any available alternatives before settling on a particular
system for material handling.

3. Systems Principle
This principle blends cost-effective material storage options available with the integrated handling design. All shipping, transport, receiving, packing, and storage
procedures should have a planned, systematic flow.

4. Unit Load
It includes product handling in the biggest possible unit loads. You want to use standardized pallets and containers that can handle huge loads to reduce the cost
per unit.

5. Space Utilization
The utilization principle ensures the maximization of any available space. The space between the equipment and the work area should be close. Any inventory
stored in a temporary storage area should not be allowed to stay for long before being used up. Moreover, you should put in place an economic order quantities
concept

6. Standardization
Standardize any handling procedures for best equipment results.

7. Ergonomic principle
In every setup, there are always constraints when it comes to human abilities. The ergonomic principle seeks to fill that gap.

 MATERIAL STORAGE
The main objective of material storage is to ensure
you never run out of material in the right form,
preferred quantities, and best quality. The storage
area should not be a health hazard for your workers.
Factors to consider when storing materials will include
accessibility when reaching the materials.
SAFETY TIPS FOR HANDLING
MATERIALS

❑ Avoid lifting materials from the floor or while seated.

❑ Make use of available handling aids.
❑ Refrain from using sudden or jerky movements.
❑ Never lift a load over an obstacle.
❑ Perform lifts in areas with adequate footing, space, and
lighting.
❑ Modify objects and redesign jobs to make moving easier.
❑ Seek assistance from co-workers.
❑ Stay in good physical shape.
