COURSE DEFINITION
The purpose of this course is to make an introduction to planning and design of material handling systems from an industrial engineering point of view. A balance of traditional and analytical approaches to material handling will be presented: material handling terminology, principles, design procedure, analysis of material handling requirements, relationship with layout, unit load, material handling equipment and selection, storage and warehousing, material handling (conveyor, AGV) in production and flow systems, material handling (order picking, AS/R systems, carousels) in warehousing and storage systems, storage models and storage space utilization.
