Planning Principle
1. 2.
Separate Dept. Operators not for mat. handling Mat. not lifted manually beyond waist height Over 20 kgs mechanical system
3.
move to point of use Proper height Non mixing of sorting mat. No twice movement of mat. in same direction.
4.
Non spreading of mat. on floor Palletisation and stocking Congestion retards flow Space costs money use monorail devices
Operating Principles
1.
Gravity principle
Equipment Principles
1.
Mechanisation principle
Reduces handling cost, speed, safety, productivity. Heavy Materials Continuous labour cost eliminated All considerations: cost, flexibility, time, volume
2.
Waiting time: pickup and put down time Palletisation and unit load
3.
Ratio of load handled to dead weight of equipment. minimum dead weight Weight of trays, trolleys and pallets
4.
Standardisation principle
Interchangeability Reduces investment in spares inventory Reduces maintenance and repairs cost
5.
Maintenance principle
Speed principle
Pallets of square in shape: fork entry in any side Two way traffic route Gangways clear Sufficient supply of boxes, pallets, containers to eliminate waiting
Costing Principles
1.
Replacement principle
General Principles
1.
Safety principle
Hot material Gangways lighted and unobstructed Operators well trained Aisles wide Safety regulations
Basic training to every employee Effect of MH on product cost and quality At end of operation job positioned such that it is ready to move.

Speed and economy Min. cost Prevention of damages Safety Min. fatigue and labour Improvement in productivity Higher plant efficiency Greater utilization of MHE Good Housekeeping Lower investment in WIP
Symptoms of Poor MH
Production losses due to delays Long queues Congestion Material damage Skilled labour: MH operations Piling of WIP Over crowded floor areas Mat. mixups Frequent breakdown of MHE Excessive loading and unloading time Aisles/ passages blocked Bad housekeeping
