III.1 Routing Sheet
III.1.1 Routing Sheet Definition
Routing sheet is chart that shows the need for materials, engine capacities,
efficient of machine and the others in an attempt to obtain a product desired
(James, 1977). Meanwhile, according to Apple (1990), a routing sheet is the
tabulation steps covered in producing special components and details that
need to be certain of the related things.
The required data in the calculation of the routing sheet is a sequence of
operations of each component, the name or the type of used equipment, the
percentage of scrap and efficiency factory. Sequence of operations on a
routing sheet is based on the sequence of operations that exists on the OPC.
The informations obtained from the routing sheet is able to know theoretical
machine capacities, number of prepared units, and the products with the
efficiency theoretical and the number of machines.
III.1.2 The Purposes of Routing Sheet
Routing sheet is made to streamline and simplify the way how to produce.
There are specific objectives of the routing sheet:
1. Find out the process flow (from preparation to packaging) suffered by
the materials for each type of component to determine the number of
machine.
2. As a basic of determining factory layout.
3. As a tool for improve the ways of work is being done.
4. As a process time guiandce of component for each machine.
5. Disciplining / familiarize operators to work regularly and quickly
according to what has been planned.

III.2 Material Handling System

III.2.1. The Definition of Material Handling and Material Handling
Equipment
There are two definitions of material handling:
Material handling is the art and science of moving, storage, protecting, and
controlling of the material.
Material handling is handle material in the right amount of appropriate
material in good condition at a suitable place, at the right time in the right
position, in order that appropriate and low cost to the correct method.
Meanwhile, Material Handling Equipment (MHE) is equipment used to move
material from one place to another in a short distance, such as the section or
department of the factory, on the accumulation place of materials, construction
sites, storage and unloading place and so on. MHE only moves material in
amount, large, and a certain distance with a displacement of material towards the
vertical, horizontal, or a combination of both.
Material handling systems focus more to discuss about:
1. MOTION

: able to move material from one location to another.

2. TIME

: able to solve the problem in an industry for any material arrival

time can be fulfilled on time, not too late or too early.

3. QUANTITY : able to bring material in the right amount.

4. SPACE

: shape of the flow of material handling systems will affect the

space.

III.2.2 Purpose of Material Handling
The main purpose of material handling system design is basically to improve the
transfer efficiency of material, so it reduces production cost and affects the
operation and design of the planned facility.
There are some of the objectives of material handling systems:

Maintains or improves the quality of products, reduces damage and provides

protection against materials

Improves security and develops working conditions

Increasing productivity include material moving in a straight line, move a

distance as close as possible, the unit load, increasing the charge with
automatic MHE.

Increases the level of using the facility include the using of the building,
multipurpose building procurement, standardization of MHE, the MHE
integration in a system.

Reduces deadweight

Controls an inventory

III.3 Kinds of Material Handling Equipment

The main of the material handling system is a material handling equipment
(MHE). Most of the existing equipment has characteristics and different
prices. All material handling equipments are classified into three main types:
conveyor, cranes, and trucks.
a. Conveyor
Conveyor is a tool used to move material continuously at a fixed path.
Here are several types of conveyor which is used: belt conveyor, roller
conveyor, screw conveyor, etc.

Advantages of conveyor:

High capacity making it possible to move large number of

materials.

Fixed speed and it can be adjustable.

Handling is able to be combined with other activities such as

process and inspection.

Can be placed on the operator or on the floor.

Material can be stored temporarily among workstation.

Transportation of goods is done automatically and does not need

operator.

Does not require aisle.

Disadvantages of conveyor:

Following fixed line so transport is limited in that area.

Posible to occour a bottle neck.

Damaging one part of the conveyor will stop the flow of the
process.

There is in fixed place so it would disturb movement of other

machines.

b. Cranes & Hoists
Cranes and hoists are the equipment used to move material
intermittently with a limited area. There are several types of cranes and
hoists: jib crane, bridge crane, gantry crane, stacker crane, etc.
Advantages of cranes and hoists:
It is possible to lift and move objects.
Little linkage with production work floor.
The work floor can be saved by installing equipment such as cranes.
Disadvantages of crane and hoist:
Need a large investment
Services are limited to the existing area.
Crane only moves in the straight line and cannot use spin/turn.

c. Trucks
Trucks are driven by hand or move material with a wide range of
existing lines. Included in this group are forklift, pallet jacks,
automated guide vehicles (AGV) and so on.
Advantages of trucks:
Displacement does not use fixed line so that it can be used
everywhere as long as the room can be passed by trucks.
Be able to loading, unloading, and lifting
Because the movement is not limited, allowing to serve different
places, trucks are able to reach a high level of usage.
Disadvantages of trucks:
Not able to handle heavy loads, such as cranes.
Has limited capacity.
Requires aisle to pass.
Most of the trucks have to be driven by the operator.
Unable to perform double duties/joint venture, such as processing
and inspection like conveyor.

III. 4 Relationship between Materials Handling and Layout

The layout seen from the perspective of production is defined as the
arrangement of production facilities to gain efficiencies in a production.
Layout design should ensure smooth flow of materials, storage of
materials, or raw materials, semi-finished and finished products. Facility
system design, layout design, and design of material handling are
essentially concerned inseparable. What often happens that the design of
the layout and material handling is done first, while the design of the
system to adjust the layout of the facility that has been designed. For the
design of the layout cultivated as flexible as possible. So, one of the
benchmarks in creating an efficient layout is a layout that is able to
minimize material handling compiled by a straight comparison between
the distance of the engine/activity and the frequency of their material
displacement, therefore it need to calculate the material handling
comparisons between the existing layout and the proposal later.
