    ASSIGNMENT

    (Design of MH Systems)

    MH Equipment Selection
    Given the material flow requirements for one or moves, MHS alternatives can be
    determined by selecting appropriate MH equipment that, in some way, “satisfies” the
    requirements. An important issue is the classification level from which the MH
    equipment is selected:
    • High Level—categories of equipment, e.g., conveyors, cranes, industrial trucks,
    positioning equipment
    • Intermediate Level—equipment types within categories, e.g., chute or roller
    conveyors, pallet jack or pallet truck industrial trucks
    • Low Level—equipment models within an equipment type, e.g., an Acme Model X
    diesel-powered counterbalanced lift truck with a rated lift capacity of 5,000 lbs.

    Selection Problem: Starting from a low level can result in too many possible choices,
    while starting from a high level does not narrow the number of possible choices enough;
    starting from the intermediate level reduces the selection problem to choosing from 15–
    50 possible types of MH equipment. The process of MH equipment selection can be
    decomposed into two stages (Figure):
    1. Determine Technical Feasibility—select MH equipment types that can satisfy the
    material flow requirements from a technological perspective.
    e.g., a pallet jack is not technically feasible for stacking pallets onto storage racks
    2. Determine Economic Feasibility—from among the technically feasible equipment
    types, select the equipment type that is most cost effective given the material handling
    requirements.
    e.g., while both a pallet jack and pallet truck are technically feasible for long-distance
    moves, the pallet truck, while costing more initially, would be more cost effective
    because it can travel faster due to the operator’s ability to ride on the truck.
    ASSIGNMENT 1
    Factory wants to design a system to transport products from the production line, through packaging,
    and finally, into the warehouse for storage. The product size, and the size of the shelves/racks in the
    warehouse can be seen in Figures below (all measures are in millimeters).
    a) Design the unit load (how many products per unit load, and palletizer).
    b) To select which Material handling Equipment to use to move the pallet load to the warehouse
    and put them on the shelf (Rack) of the warehouse.
    c) Explain and describe the operation of the system.
