Generally, material handling equipment refers to equipment designed to move, control, protect or store material through various processes at warehouses and facilities t.  These equipment are used across many different industries, making it very versatile. By knowing more about material handling equipment, one can better outfit one’s facility with the right equipment and systems for the company’s needs. Types of Materials Handling Equipment Material handling equipment can be classified under four main categories: 1.

The final decision regarding any particular method of production is very much affecting by the nature of the products and the quantity to produce. The types of Production Systems are grouped under two categories viz .,  Intermittent production system , and  Continuous production system . Continuous System or Flow System “Continuous flow production situations are those where the facilities are standardized as to routings and flow since inputs are standardized. Therefore a standard set of processes and sequences of the process can be adopted.” Thus continuous or flow production refers to the manufacturing of large quantities of a single or at most a very few varieties of products with a standard set of processes and sequences. The mass production is carried on continuously
