How to streamline the flow of materials

Abstract

WE NEED to get “materials handling” into the right perspective. In most people's minds it conjures up a picture of a fork lift truck. Many industrial organisations believe that if they have developed their methods to a stage where they are able to use fork lift trucks then they have solved their materials handling problems.
