Objectives of Materials Handling

1. Reduction in Wastage of Machine  time: Proper material handling  system would  ensure  regular  supply  and distribution  of raw  materials  and finished  product. This will  not create the problems  of idling  of machine  and eliminate  problems  of wastage of  machines  time.

2. Reduction in Manufacturing Cycle Time : Keeping  the loading  time of  machine at  minimum  enables the completion  of manufacturing cycle  at reasonably short  time.

3. Avoid  Disruption in Production Schedule : In mass production  system  all parts  or metals must  come in the assembly  line in correct quantity and at precisely the right time  to avoid  risk  of shut  down.

4. Safety and  safe working conditions : Correctly designed material  handling  system  enables  utilization of proper  material handling device and training works in safe material  handling practice. It  is tangible saving in reduced insurance races payment  of compensation and  boost  to worker moral.

5. Customer  satisfaction : Regular market  suppliers  by avoiding  disruption  in production schedule,  shortening  manufacturing  cycle time  timely  deliveries lead to customer  satisfaction a key  to  business success.

6. Enhances  Productivity  and Avoids High  Cost : Efficient  materials  handling  system  results  in reduction  in cost  through  various  stops  discusses above  results in higher productivity .
