Four Key Aspects of Material Handling
Material handling is a term used often in our industry, but what exactly does it mean? There are four crucial aspects that account for what it is.
1. MOTION/SPEED
Moving parts, products or units in the most efficient manner
1. SPACE
Warehouse and plant space is a major industrial problem, since space costs money, space requirements play an important role in the development of a material handling system. The parts or units have to be handled efficiently, all while conforming to space.
2. TIME
Each step in any manufacturing process requires that the parts or supplies are on hand at the right place at the right time. It becomes an integral part of planning and scheduling the manufacturing process.
4. QUANITITY
The rate of demand varies between operations and steps in the manufacturing process. It also has the responsibility of delivering the industry’s production requirements in the proper amount or quantity of units for orderly, efficient production.
