A STUDY ON MATERIAL HANDLING SYSTEM WITH REFERENCE TO RANE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRYPROJECT DONE BYK.HEMNATHGUIDED BYDr. C.R. SENTHILNATHAN

INTRODUCTION

Material handling is the movement, storage, control and protection of material, goods and products throughout the process of manufacturing, distribution, consumption and disposal.Material handling system is an activity that uses the right methods to provide the right amount of the right material at the right place, at the right time, in the right position and at the right cost.

need for the studyThe 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. 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.So, it is needed to reduce the damage percentage in order to decrease the production cost.

GUNNY BAG ELIMINATION

Current Supply

Currently materials supplied in gunny bags and stored in steel pallets

Objective of the study

To analyze the existing material handling systemTo optimize the lead time for material movement and vehicle turnaround timeTo 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. This will eliminate the time delay on materials issue to production. Readiness of materials towards immediate supply to shop floor and need to maintain easy accountability.Easy identification and improved 5S.

MethodologyData CollectionIt is done by the observation of flow of material movement and material handling equipment.

Secondary DataIt is collected from the Material Management Department.
