The document discusses problems with the current material handling system at a company. It is labor intensive, time consuming, and poses safety risks for workers. Large amounts of time are spent on loading and unloading operations, and products are being damaged during handling. The inefficiencies lead to unnecessary costs. Workers obstructing material flow and machinery movement within the confined work areas also creates issues. A Pareto chart shows the major problems are workers taking more time than standard for loading and unloading, and obstructions to material flow. The company aims to implement a more efficient material handling system to address these critical problems.

Current system is labor intensive and was costing company time, money, and most importantly, the safety of its workers. Large amount of time is spent for loading and unloading operations. Products are being damaged while handling. Increase in idle time of workers led to unnecessary cost burden to company. Movement of workers in the confined workplace area led to unnecessary obstruction of material flow and machinery
