Systematic Materials Handling Analysis & Systematic Container Planning
2 days, 1.4 CEUs
Note: This course is only offered by our qualified training provider in Turkey.
Overview
No operation can be performed without transportation! Materials handling methods link layout operations to a functioning manufacturing system. Depending on the nature of your facility, materials handling costs account for 10 to 30 percent of your total operating cost, which may be even higher in case of distribution facilities. Most facilities have not yet been referenced to a materials handling plan. Methods have mostly developed spontaneously or been projected by equipment suppliers and consultants. Likewise, the individuals appointed as materials handling engineer are mostly individuals without as formal education in this field. In the absence of analyses, many of them adopt the approach “me too” based on what others have done.
Our materials handling course is based on Systematic Handling Analysis (SHA), which is the most organized approach designed to analyze and evaluate materials handling methods. Developed by Richard Muther and Knut Haganas and refined through an application history of more than 40 years, Systematic Handling Analysis accompanies Systematic Layout Planning (SLP). SHA is available in printed form and is used by thousands of planners worldwide.
Our course on SHA methods give equal weight to facility and warehouse subjects. It is needed by those who have to apply the following procedures:
- Replace materials handling equipment, improve or add to their specifications.
- Replace materials handling methods, or evaluate alternative methods.
- Reorganize for a better flow of materials and movement of products.
- Reduce costs through better materials handling methods.
Topic Highlights
- Classify the materials
- Analyze the moves
- Quantified flow daigram
- Set handling equipment and container plans and adjust
- Evaluate alternative plans
- Detail the selected plan
What You Will Learn
- To improve the performance of facility.
- To decrease the materials handling cost.
- To provide the flexibility, harmony and quantity incrementation.
- To save time and prevent oversights.
- To improve the use of space
