IMPACT OF EFFICIENT MATERIALS HANDLING IN A MANUFACTURING ORGANIZATION

ABSTRACT

The effect movement of materials is being seen as business in its own right. Materials handling is a features of almost all the companies although it has for many years been an unexplored area. In recent times, this area has been seen many changes and which continue to change. New equipment and machines are appearing in the market and most companies new operate complex systems of efficient movement of materials, this research project is designed to open up some of the basic elements and aspects of the subjects. It is also an attempt to relate materials handling method employed to the operation of rest of the organization. In an Endeavour to remedy this situation this project has been written to pull together in one as many facts on materials handling and its management as possible.

CHAPTER ONE

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Material management is the branch of logistics that deals with the tangible component of supply chain specially, this covers the acquisition of spare parts and replacement quality control of purchasing and ordering such parts, and the standards involved in ordering, shipping and warehousing the said parts. It is the planning, directing, controlling and coordinating those activities which are concerned with material and inventory requirement from the point of their inception to their introduction into the manufacturing process, it beings with the determination of material quality and quantity and ends with its issuance to per the schedule and at the lowest cost. Material management can deal with campus planning and building design for the movement of materials or with logistics that deals with the tangible components of a supply chain.
The goal of material management is to provide a unbroken chain of components for production to manufacture goods on time for the customers base. The material department is charged with releasing materials to a supply base, ensuring that the materials are delivered on time to the organization using the correct carrier, material is generally measured by accomplishing on time delivery to the customer from the supply base, attaining a freight budget, inventory shrink management and inventory accuracy. The material department is also charged with the responsibility of managing new launches.
In some companies, materials management department is also charged with the procurement of materials by establishing and managing supply base. Other companies the procurement and management of the supply base is the responsibility of a separate department, the purchasing department is their responsibility for the purchase price, variance from the supply base. In large companies with multitudes of customer charges to the final product over the course to the final product over the course of a year these may be a separate logistics department that is responsible for all new acquisition launches and customers changes. This logistics department ensures that the launch material are procured for production and then transfer the responsibility to the plant material management. These are no standard for material management that are practiced from organization to organization. Most companies use Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system such as System Applications Products (SAP), Oracle, Business Planning and Control System (BPCS) Manufacturing Accounting and Production Information Control System (MAPIVS) and other system to manage materials control afford. Small concern that do not have or cannot afford EPR system use a form of spread sheet application to management material. Some other construction project use Barcode and Global Positing System (GPS) Material management System like Tranckum.
Material Management is not a science and depending upon the relevance and importance the organization officials place upon controlling material flow. The level of expertise changes some companies like materials management on a level whereby there is a logistic director, other companies see the importance level as managing at the plant level by hiring an inventory manager and still other companies employ the concept that the supervisors in the plant are responsible accompanied by the planners. Because there are no standard, there is only practices of any particular business sector, that are widely used for example the generation or release to the supply base comes in many forms from the level that requires sending facsimiles and Portable Document Format (PDF) files. The Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) in formation exchange to the ultimate practice of a supplier web base site.
