Material Handling Equipment Selection Guide for Commissary Warehouses.
Abstract
This report is a condensation of Material Handling Equipment for Commissary Warehouses (CERL Technical Report P-67) and is to be used in selecting efficient and economical Material Handling Equipment (MHE). This selection guide is based on a series of nomographs developed in accordance with basic assumptions about a 'typical' warehouse operation. A step-by-step procedure, which includes an example selection problem, guides the commissary officer in choosing MHE by using information obtained from his own operation. The commissary officer may determine estimates of such basic information as the volume of goods moved through the warehouse; receiving/stocking and picking standards in minutes per carton; MHE requirements; manpower requirements; MHE feasibility; MHE ownership and operating cost; and total cost of the MHE operations. The final equipment choice for a specific warehouse will depend solely on its intended application.
