A variety of manual, semi-automated, and automated equipment and systems are used in the process.
Planning Principles Include:
Principle of Planning: All material handling activities should be planned.
The systems principle states that handling activities should be integrated and coordinated.
The Simplification Principle... The Material Flow Principle... The Gravity Principle... The Unit Size Principle...
Principle of Space Utilization:... Principle of Safety:
I Material handling equipment must be capable of performing the basic functions of material handling (storage and transportation).(ii) Material handling equipment must facilitate activities such as production planning, inspection, and process control.
