"We've been a customer for more than 15 year. GSS Machinery offers a wide selection of products at great rates. They are a great source of materials as well as information and suggestions about storage issues.
The Material Handling Institute, a group of professionals and researchers, created a document with the 10 principles in material handling. It was designed to make materials handling safer and more productive.
6. Space Utilization: Organize your warehouse to maximize your available warehouse space. You can ensure your warehouse is organized by clearing warehouse aisles from clutter, stacking inventory to utilize vertical height and grouping products in the same category.

5. Unit load: Utilize unit loads such as containers and pellets to reduce effort and walking time in the warehouse.
4. Ergonomics: Acknowledge your employees’ restrictions and capabilities by investing in ergonomic equipment to ensure safety in the workplace.
Loose form materials can include liquid, food and minerals, such as stones and rocks, and metal items, such as bolts and nails.
The material handling process is influenced by four dimensions: movement, time, quantity, and space.
1. Plan: Create a plan for your material handling system. Plan: Your plan should outline which materials will need to be transported, what equipment will be used, and where the materials will be stored.
7. System: Integrate tracking tools so you can quickly identify materials and products at every stage of the system.
7. System: Integrate tracking devices so that you can quickly identify materials or products at any stage of your system.
Bulk handling materials equipment stores, controls and moves loose material in large quantities.
Material handling equipment utilizes manual, semi-automated, and automated equipment to assist the movement and storage of materials within the warehouse.
Most storage equipment is limited to manual items, but engineered systems can group them together. This equipment is used to buffer or hold materials during "downtimes", which are times when they aren't being transported. These periods could include temporary pauses for long-term transportation, or long-term storage meant to allow stock building. Storage equipment consists of shelves, pallets or racks where materials can be placed in an orderly way to ensure they are ready for transport or consumption. Many companies have designed proprietary packaging that helps products and materials conserve space while being stored in inventory.
Heavy loads should be placed on the lower or middle shelves. Long, tall, or top-heavy items should be stored on their sides or secured to prevent tipping. To access materials in higher locations, place ladders on stable, level surfaces and use stair platforms. Properly lift materials.
A material storage system's function is to store materials for a period of time and to provide access to those materials when needed. Material types Table 11.1 shows the product (raw material, purchased parts, and work-in-process). Finished product (including rework and scrap) Process (Refuse, Toding, Spare parts)
Planning Principles Include:
Principle of Planning: All material handling activities should be planned.
The systems principle states that handling activities should be integrated and coordinated.
The Simplification Principle... The Material Flow Principle... The Gravity Principle... The Unit Size Principle...
Principle of Space Utilization:... Principle of Safety:
