Chapter 1 Materials Handling System Design

چکیده
Material handling systems consist of discrete or continuous resources to move entities from one location to another. They are more common in manufacturing systems compared to service systems. Material movement occurs everywhere in a factory or warehouse—before, during, and after processing. Apple (1977) notes that material handling can account for up to 80 percent of production activity. Although material movement does not add value in the manufacturing process, half of the company’s operation costs are material handling costs (Meyers 1993).
