Material handling :-

 Is the movement, protection, storage and control of materials and

products throughout manufacturing, warehousing, distribution,
consumption and disposal. As a process, material handling
incorporates a wide range of manual, semi-automated
and automated equipment and systems that support logistics and
make the supply chain work. Their application helps with:

 Forecasting

 Resource allocation

 Production planning

 Flow and process management

 Inventory management and control

 Customer delivery
A company’s material handling system and processes are put in
place to improve customer service, reduce inventory, shorten
delivery time, and lower overall handling costs in manufacturing,
distribution and transportation

HOW IS MATERIAL HANDLING

EQUIPMENT USED?

There is a variety of manual, semi-automated

and automated material handling equipment
and technologies available to aid in the
movement, protection, storage and control of
materials and products throughout
manufacturing, distribution, consumption and
disposal. These include:
WHAT ARE THE PRINCIPALS OF
MATERIAL HANDLING?

When designing a material handling system,

it is important to refer to best practices to
ensure that all the equipment and processes
—including manual, semi-automated and
automated—in a facility work together as a
unified, system. By analyzing the goals of the
material handling process and aligning them
to guidelines, such as the 10 Principles of
Material Handling, a properly designed
system will improve customer service, reduce
inventory, shorten delivery time, and lower
overall handling costs in manufacturing,
distribution and transportation. These
principles include:
Planning:-
 Define the needs, strategic performance
objectives and functional specification of the
proposed system and supporting technologies
at the outset of the design. The plan should
be developed in a team approach, with input
from consultants, suppliers and end users, as
well as from management, engineering,
information systems, finance and operations.

Standardization:-
 All material handling methods, equipment,
controls and software should be standardized
and able to perform a range of tasks in a
variety of operating conditions.
Work:-
 Material handling processes should be simplified by
reducing, combining, shortening or eliminating
unnecessary movement that will impede productivity.
Examples include using gravity to assist in material
movement, and employing straight-line movement as much
as possible.

Ergonomics:-
 Work and working conditions should be adapted to
support the abilities of a worker, reduce repetitive and
strenuous manual labor, and emphasize safety.

Unit load:-
 Because less effort and work is required to move several
individual items together as a single load (as opposed to
moving many items one at a time), unit loads—such as
pallets, containers or totes of items—should be used
Benefits of Material Handling Systems.

The latest developments in material handling

systems support the needs of various
companies that require handling equipment.
With the complex material handling
processes, it is truly a great advantage to
have a feasible material handling system that
adapts to the unique needs of operators and
industrial companies.

The following are the helpful benefits of

using material carts and trains in
transporting containers or unit loads from the
warehouse to the building site:
 save money

 increase safety

 reduce downtime

 improve ergonomics

 increase efficiency

 reduce fork transport traffic

 increase capacity

 save space

 increase flexibility

 improve the work environment

MOVEMENT OF RAW MATERIALS :-

In a sense, raw materials used are just like the

food we eat: They should be of good quality,
they must be stored and handled properly, and
they must not be contaminated. The old adage
“You are what you eat” comes to mind,
because the quality of raw materials going into
a concrete mix (for example) has a direct effect
on how the final product will turn out – in both
fresh and hardened states. With that in mind,
the storage and handling of raw materials will
play an important role in determining a plant’s
layout and equipment needs.
MOVEMENT OF FINISHED PRODUCTS :-

Physical distribution is the set of activities

concerned with efficient movement of
finished goods from the end of the production
operation to the consumer. Physical
distribution takes place within numerous
wholesaling and retailing distribution
channels, and includes such important
decision areas as customer service, inventory
control, materials handling, protective
packaging, order procession, transportation,
warehouse site selection, and warehousing.
Physical distribution is part of a larger
process called “distribution,” which includes
wholesale and retail marketing, as well the
physical movement of products.
WASTE SEGREGATION :-

Waste segregation" means dividing waste

into dry and wet. Dry waste includes wood
and related products, metals and glass.Waste
segregation is the grouping of waste into
different categories. Each waste goes into its
category at the point of dumping or
collection, but sorting happens after dumping
or collection.
What are the 3 waste segregation?

One of the ways to put that plan into action is through

the 3 Rs of waste management — Reduce, Reuse,
Recycle

What are the different types of waste

segregation?

Waste can be classified into five types of waste which

is all commonly found around the house. These
include liquid waste, solid rubbish, organic waste,
recyclable rubbish and hazardous waste. Make
sure that you segregate your waste into these
different types to ensure proper waste removal.
WHAT ARE THE 3 TYPES OF WASTE?

Classifying Different Types of Waste

Liquid waste. Liquid waste is frequently found

both in households as well as in industries.

Organic Waste. Organic waste is a common

household waste.

Recyclable Rubbish.

Hazardous Waste.
BENEFITS OF WASTE SEGREGATION

Segregation of waste, i.e. sorting into waste

categories, leads to reduced quantities of
hazardous waste, as the general waste is
separated and follows the municipal waste
stream. This greatly reduces the costs for
safe disposal of hazardous health-care waste.
HOW CAN WE PRACTISE WASTE SEGREGATION?

Here are some steps to manage and segregate waste:

1. Keep separate containers for dry and wet waste in the
kitchen.

2. Keep two bags for dry waste collection- paper and
plastic, for the rest of the household waste

3. Keep plastic from the kitchen clean and dry and drop
into the dry waste bin. Keep glass/plastic containers
rinsed of food matter.

4. Send wet waste out of your home daily. Store and send
dry waste out of the home, once a week.

5. Keep a paper bag for throwing the sanitary waste.

CLEANLINESS:-

WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF

CLEANLINESS?

The importance of cleanliness in our lives

cannot be denied. Maintaining a clean
environment is for the health of all
humans, as their health completely depends
on the atmosphere. A bad environment is
solely responsible for spoiling the health of
the people around. Dirt and disease go
together.
WHAT IS CLEANLINESS IN SIMPLE
WORDS?

Cleanliness means that there is no dirt, no

dust, no stains, no bad smells. The goals of
cleanliness are health, beauty, no offensive
odor and to avoid the spreading of dirt and
contaminants to oneself and others. Washing
is one way of achieving cleanliness, usually
with water and often some kind of soap or
detergent.
WHAT IS THE CONCLUSION OF CLEANLINESS?

Cleanliness is next to Godliness. Clean

surroundings help us to be healthy and sound. Its
our foremost duty to keep our environment clean
and healthy.

STACKING

What is Staking material?

Staking is the process of connecting two

components by creating an interference fit
between the two pieces. One workpiece has a
hole in it while the other has a boss that fits within
the hole.
What is safe height of material staking?

Stacks shall not be piled so high as to make

them unstable under fire fighting conditions
and in general they shall not be more than
4.5 m in height.
 What safeguards must worker follow while staking
materials.?

 General safe stacking and storage rules with which

employees who handle materials should be familiar include:

 Ensure that stacks are stable and self-supporting.

 Observe height limitations when stacking materials.

 Allow sufficient clearance around stacks for safe handling

and easy access.

 Make sure there is sufficient clearance between stacks and

lights, heating pipes, and sprinkler heads.

 Make sure stacks don’t block emergency exits, emergency

equipment, or fire alarms.
