INTRODUCTION OBJECTIVES TYPES OF MATERIALS HANDLING EQUPIMENTS PRINCIPLES OF MATERIAL HANDLING SELECTION MATERIALS HANDLING EQUPIMENTS THERE ARE THREE MATHODS\ SYSTEMS IN PLANTS MOVEMENT OF MATERIALS

Materials handling system decides the speed of movement of goods, services & information within organization & between the seller and customer. It determines the companies response level to internal & external customers requirement. Before product reaches to the final customers, it passes through series of handling processes. Around 15-20% of cost is spent on material handling cost

Material are transported from supplier to the plant Unloaded inputs are moved to storage spaces & stocked Stored inputs are moved to manufacturing locations Semi finished products are moved from one location to another within the plant or from plant to another outside processing units Finished goods are moved to warehouses for packing \stacking Finished goods are dispatched to customer

Increase the storage capacity of warehouse: Reduction of no of time product handle: Development of effective work condition: Reduction of movement involving manual labours: Improvement of logistics services: Reduction of cost:

Types of Materials handling Equipments

FIXED PATH

VARIABLE PATH INDUSRTRIL TRUCKS

FIXED DESTINATIO N CONVEYORS ELEVATORS HOISTS

VARIABLE DESTINATIO N CRANES AUTOMATED GUIDED VEHICLE INDUSTRIAL ROBOTS

Industrial elevators Are the types of cranes that lift materials usually between floors of buildings.

Cranes Are devices mounted on overhead rails or ground level wheels or rails. They lift, swing and transport large and heavy materials.

Hoists Are devices, which moves materials vertically and horizontally in a limited area.

Industrial Trucks These device are used for moving mixed or uniform loads in between over variables paths.

Pipelines Are close tubes that transports liquids means of pumps or gravity

Industrials robots A robot is a mechanism that has movable arm like projection with a gripper on the end that can perform a variety of functions with a control that can be reprogrammed and hence they are very flexible.

Planning Material handling system should be design after analyzing needs of origizanation The objectives of the company should be cleared in advance Standardization the system for material handling should be standardice the company should set a system for handling which will be flexible and time saving Work principle the work principle should be set in such away that reduces the efforts of workers in carrying materials one place and another the material should be handling considering the safety and should protect product from damage

Ergonomics principle it is a science that seeks to adopted work or working condition suite the abilities of the workers material handling & equipment should be human friendly Unit load principle a unit load is one that can be stored or moved as a single unit at one time. the size of cartons or package should be uniform which helps in handling propose Space utilization The space of facility location should be used at optimal capacity

Systems all the system related to the handling of material should be clearly defined in advance proper system will result in less confusion & congestion in work Automation the company should invent the automation system which reduces human efforts & results in fast completion of work. the automation system results in producing quality products Environment the material handling system should be set keeping in mind its adverse effect on environment the system should not create any damage to environment. Life cycle cost the cost of material handling should be analyzed in advance & should favor the organization the cost of material handling should prove beneficial & economical for the company

Suitable for the type of material :some material handling equipments are suitable for heavy load while some are suitable for individual load. Direction of movement: some material handling equipments can move materials only in horizontal direction, other can move only in vertical direction Speed of movement: some material handling speed are fixed speed while some other speed can be changed

Path followed: some material handling equipment follows a fixed path can be varied Power requirement for the operation of the equipments: material handling equipments have power driven Supervision required: some equipments requires close supervision while do not requires

1) Manual labour

In this method the work load is solely dependents on the labours. The labours has to carry the materials from one place to another. This method is time consuming. The risk factor of damaging the goods is more. This method is order & economical for firm

2) Mechanized transport This method involves both manual efforts and mechanize work. The work is mostly done by machine. It reduces the human efforts in the process. Equipments such as fork lift truck, how tractors ,order picker trucks, cranes, convers are used.

3) Automation The method substitute the human requirements in process by electricity. Computerized system is an aspect of Automated system. Automated system increase the productivity & will lead to standardization of work in less time.

Hitachi, Ltd. is a world leader in the development of advanced materials and technologies. Utilizing extensive knowledge of plasma technologies, ion and electron beam technologies, and environmental systems, Hitachi, Ltd. manufactures high quality equipment for use in semiconductor device manufacturing facilities. From its North American Headquarters in Dallas Texas, the Hitachi America, Ltd. Semiconductor Equipment Group (SEG) distributes replacement parts to customers throughout the United States, Ireland and the Middle East. Growth in semiconductor equipment sales and the introduction of new product lines combined to strain the companys existing distribution facility. With increasing inventory, new product lines to support, and accelerating throughput requirements, Senior Operations Manager Tony Ficken knew he needed to improve his distribution operations.

The impact Because of increasing demand for services, Ficken knew he needed to transform the way his distribution facility operated from the ground up. Hitachi America, Ltd. SEG determined Hitachi simplifies, cuts shipping time with carousel & warehouse management system that a new larger distribution center was required to keep pace with future demand. The company also realized that in addition to more space, it needed to improve distribution processes efficiency and increase control over the operation. I realized that the system and equipment in the old facility wouldnt work in the new warehouse, Ficken said.

The desired solution

We dance a fine line of supply and demand, Ficken said. Because of the demanding nature of its business, the company needs to maintain near-perfect accuracy levels. Hitachi America, Ltd. SEG puts a premium on accuracy. The new distribution center had to be more efficient than Hitachi America, LTD is previous facility. With an increasing demand for its services and a need to minimize the number of people involved in shipping an order, Hitachi America, Ltd. needed the new operations to do more in less time, with less effort and fewer people. Another goal of Fickens was to remove the manual process to handling inventory orders.I want to remove as much touching of the order as possible, said Ficken. I dont want inventory touched if it doesnt have to be touched.Hitachi needed increased security in the new facility. Access to inventory had to be limited and that meant a solution that automated manual processes.
