Week (4)
Topic (MATERIAL HANDLING, QUALITY INSPECTIONS, AND
PACKAGING CONCEPTS)

Please answer the following questions and include the references.

1. Please answer the following questions below:

• What is material handling, mechanical material handling, and manual material
handling and explain the differences from one another?
• Explain the factors that influence the selection of material handling equipment?
• What are the indicators of safe manual material handling?
• Explain the different types of material handling equipments and how each of them
work

2. Find the journal or relevant source about the Celluveyor! Don't forget to write down your
sources (such as journal, books, etc) using the Harvard Referencing Systems at the last page
of the report.
• Explain the problem background!
• Analyze the case using 5W+1H!
• What is the difference between a celluveyor and a conventional conveyor!

3. Please choose one example of a type of product packaging (it can be a small or large product),
explain the application of the chosen example, and explain the aspects of the quality
dimensions that are included!

4. Quality inspection can be divided into 3 types of inspection, there are off-line inspection, on-
line inspection and on-line/post process inspection. Describe the differences between the
three types of inspection and provide examples of their application!

 ANSWER :

1. Material Handling : Process of moving materials in a form raw materials, semi-finished good, finished good
product to a desired place. This moving work is just carried in a small area like a factory

Manual Material Handling : Process of moving materials with manual method like lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling, etc.

Mechanical Material Handling : Process of moving materials with help of machine like conveyor, lift truck, cranes, hoist etc

Factors that influence the selection of material handling equipment

 Properties of materials
 Building layout
 Production Flow
 Cost Considerations
 Engineering Factors, etc.

Indicators of safe manual material handling

-To find how safe the process of manual material handling. It can use REBA and RULA

Different types of material handling equipments and how each of them work
Storage and handling equipment : designed to utilize vertical space so the warehouse can hold more items. Bins, drawers,
stacking frames, flow racks, cantilever racks, and mezzanines are also included in this category.

Bulk Material handling equipment : this is, the storing, transportation and control of materials in loose bulk form. If there’s a
lot of material all together, you’re probably using bulk material handling equipment.

Industrial Trucks : These are vehicles or equipment that move materials. Sometimes workers run them, and sometimes
they are automatic. Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) fall under both engineered systems and industrial trucks.

Engineered Systems : This type of material handling equipment involves more complicated systems with multiple
components, usually automated

3. Rigid Box

A rigid box is made out of highly condensed paperboard that is 4 times thicker than the paperboard used in the construction of a
standard folding carton. The easiest real-world example of rigid boxes are the boxes that hold Apple’s iPhones and iPads,
which are 2 piece setup rigid boxes.Compared to paperboard and corrugated boxes, rigid boxes are definitely among the most
expensive box styles. The rigid boxes usually do not require dies that are expensive or massive machinery and are often hand-
made. Their non-collapsible nature also gives them a higher volume during shipping, which easily incurs higher shipping fees.
These boxes are commonly used in merchandising cosmetics, jewelry, technology, and high-end luxury couture. It is easy to
incorporate features such as platforms, windows, lids, hinges, compartments, domes, and embossing in a rigid box.

4. Offline inspection : In off-line inspection, the inspection equipment is usually dedicated and does not make any
physical contact with machine tools. There is always a time delay between production and inspection. The disadvantage of
offline inspection is that the parts have already been made by the time poor quality is detected. Sometimes by default a
defective part may not be included into the sample. A coordinate measuring machine (CMM) is an example of off-line
inspection. CMM is discussed in detail in the next section.

Online inspection : If the task of inspection is done as the parts are manufactured, then it is called as online inspection.
There are two variations of on-line inspection. If the inspection is performed during the manufacturing operation, it is called on-
line/in-process inspection. If the inspection is performed immediately following the production process, it is called on-line/post-
process inspection
