A STUDY ON MATERIAL HANDLING SYSTEM WITH

REFERENCE TO RANE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY

Definition:
Material handling is the movement, storage, control and
protection of material, goods and products throughout the
process of manufacturing, distribution, consumption and
disposal.
Need for the study:
The organization is incurring damage to an extent of 15%
due to the improper existing material handling system.
This leads to increase in the production cost. So, it is needed
to reduce the damage percentage in order to decrease the
production cost.
Currently, the bag wise unloading of items leads more time
delay and material collected through trolley have some fixed
quantity.
Constraints further, improper material handling leads to
quality variation during receipt and issues and must be delay
in production.
Objective of the study:
To analyze the existing material handling system
To optimize the lead time for material movement and vehicle
turnaround time
To suggest an improvised material handling system to
increase productivity and working condition
Scope of the study:

The study will improve the material handling system by

reducing the lead time of material movement in which it
further reduce the inventory holding cost to the organization.
