Material Handling Equipment for Commissary Warehouses.
Abstract
This report presents the findings of a material handling equipment (MHE) study performed to develop guidelines for efficient MHE selection in commissary warehouses. The significant factors in MHE selection are storage volume utilization, manpower requirements, purchase cost, operating cost, flexibility, and maintainability. A relative measure of performance under each factor is developed to determine feasibility and economy of equipment alternatives. Guidelines for equipment selection are provided and explained via an example of a standard warehouse configuration. Final choice of equipment for a specific warehouse depends solely on the application for which it will be used.
