CONVEYOR INDUSTRY
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
INDUSTRIAL BACKGROUND
A conveyor system is a fast and efficient mechanical handling apparatus for automatically
transporting loads and materials within an area. This system minimizes human error, lowers
workplace risks and reduces labor costs — among other benefits. They are useful in helping to
move bulky or heavy items from one point to another. A conveyor system may use a belt,
wheels, rollers, or a chain to transport objects.
For the belt to move effectively, both the drive pulley and idler must run in the same direction,
either clockwise or counter clockwise.
While conventional conveyor systems such as moving walkways and grocery store conveyors
are straight, sometimes, the unit needs to turn to deliver the items to the proper location. For the
turns, there are unique cone-shaped wheels or rotors which allow the belt to follow a bend or
twist without getting tangled.
Conveyor systems save time when transporting items from one location to another. As they can
be inclined to span multiple levels, they make it simpler to move items up and down floors, a
task that, when performed manually by humans, causes physical strain. Inclined belts can
automatically unload material, eliminating the need for someone to be on the opposite end to
receive pieces.

Each type of conveyor serves a specific purpose. For example, a slat conveyor, made from slats
or plates instead of a belt, is designed for moving heavy materials. The materials conveyed by a
slat system are typically too large or heavy for traditional belt movement.
Ski lifts are an example of an overhead conveyor. These units use an electric track inclined to
pull the chairs up or down the mountainside. Like an escalator, these systems use a chain-driven
towing system.
Belt support is the component that ensures the belt moves smoothly. If the support unit is not
firm, the belt sags when workers place a heavy object on top, and the sagging causes the belt not
to move smoothly or swiftly as it should. The use of a firm support unit keeps the belt taut and
running efficiently.
The pulley system is an external component used to control the belt movement. Each unit has at
least two pulleys, one that operates under power and an idle one. More complex conveyor
systems may have additional rotors throughout the frame.
The drive unit allows the system to move. The unit contains a counter bearing that keeps the
parts moving efficiently. This unit also allows for the belt to move in reverse and manage the
repeated adjustments in direction for some systems. Some conveyor systems are manually
operated. These systems still use a drive unit; however, it is not motorized.
Also, there are several factors to consider when trying to identify and purchase the ideal
conveyor system for your warehousing or distribution facility. You should simultaneously
consider both product and process requirements.
Operationally safe
Energy efficient
Reliable (parts and components engineered to last)
Adaptable to changing needs
Cost-effective (in terms of TCO, or total cost of ownership)
Installing the wrong conveyor system will quickly undermine a warehouse’s operational
efficiency, leading to higher cost and lower customer satisfaction, eventually stripping the
business of its competitive advantage.
Without further ado, let’s explore factors to consider when evaluating and selecting the right
conveyor system for your operation.
Product requirements
Essentially, a conveyor system is used to move items between functional areas of a distribution
facility. As such, the type of item(s) to be moved will determine the design, dimensions and type
of conveyor system to be installed.
When searching for the best conveyor system for your facility, answering the following
questions will help you ascertain design and configuration requirements and help you calculate
things like horsepower and belt pull for individual conveyors:
Factors such as product weight, dimensions and fragility will greatly impact your decision
process. The dimensions of the items in your facility will determine conveyor width, guide rail
specifications and roller centers, while the weight of the products will decide roller gauge, roller
diameter and motor sizing requirements.
Process requirements
Process requirements cover factors governing how the conveyor should move and the unique
conditions of the operating environment. These considerations include:
Flow rate
Your conveyor system should be able to handle your facility’s average transfer rate as well as
periods of peak demand due to seasonal fluctuations. The number of products you need to
transport per hour (or per minute) will determine conveyor length and speed.
Also, certain kinds of conveyors are ideal for certain products. A large plastic chain conveyor is
best used for transferring plastic-footed pallets, while a chain-driven roller conveyor is best
suited for wooden pallets. Also, the former is best used for moving smaller boxes or totes than
the latter.
Transfer requirements
The point where items are transferred to and from the conveyor is a critical one. Most conveyors
use side to side transfers, powered transfers, dead plates, gravity rollers, etc. to facilitate this.
Products with a smaller footprint may require a powered transfer, while larger and longer
products may need gravity rollers.
However, the lifetime cost of purchasing, installing and maintaining such systems may be high
for small and medium-size operations. It can range from the hundreds of thousands of dollars to
millions, depending on factors such as:
Current estimates show that a Belt Curve AC and a Roller Curve AC conveyor cost
approximately $5,243 and $2,686 per linear foot — under the following assumptions:
Curves — 90 degrees
Speeds — 65 to 90 feet per minute
9-inch rollers on 3-inch centers
Overall width — 24 inches
Note: This is just the upfront cost of the conveyor equipment. Aside from installation costs,
you’ll also need to factor in the cost of restructuring your warehouse space to accommodate the
conveyor system. The installation process itself could take a while and would affect order
fulfillment and other warehousing activities. Lastly, operating and maintenance costs per year
would likely exceed the initial purchase and installation costs.
History
Most people will guess that the goods we purchase at some point have travelled along a
conveyor on their journey to our doorstep, as with most technology like electricity or gas we
easily just take it for granted. Conveyor belts can be seen everywhere now, at checkout aisles,
airport security checkpoints and baggage claims, treadmills at the gym and industrial facilities.
But just how did this piece of technology come about?The exact date of the very
first conveyor/pulley system is hard to define. In the same way, its definition is just as
inconclusive. However, most of us today know on a basic level that it is simply a belt that
transports items from one place to another mostly on assembly lines. Stepping back in time to
1795 when conveyor belts became a popular means for conveying materials. Early designs show
it was a simple system of belts made of either leather, cloth or rubber travelling over a wooden
bed operated by a hand crank. Used for the most part by farmers to load grain onto ships. By
1804 Industrialisation was in full swing and it was not long before industries and companies
recognised the benefits and efficiencies of the conveyor belt. Only a few years later the first
steam-powered conveyor was born and put into operation, most notably by the Navy. Inventor
and manufacturer, Thomas Robins is widely credited for designing the heavy-duty conveyor belt
that we recognise today. His designs were built to transport coal and ore for Thomas Edison’s
Ore-Milling Company and won the grand prize at the Paris Exposition World Fair in 1900 and
first prizes at the Pan-American Exposition and Saint Louis Exposition. The Next big milestone
in the history of conveyors was thanks to a Swedish company called Sandvik, which is still
trading today. The company was founded in 1862 and went on to design and manufacture the
first steel conveyors. This enabled the transportation of heavier and more robust materials like
gravel and charcoal across even longer distances. Stainless steel belts were then introduced
shortly after that would enable a more hygienic way of transporting food items.
PROBLEMS IN THE ORGANISATION
1. Carryback
2. Conveyor belt mistracking
3. Belt slippage
4. Material slippage
Industrial belt conveyors offer reliable handling in nearly any setting, but they can occasionally
exhibit issues, particularly if not kept clean and maintained; carryback, mistracking, slippage,
and spillage are some of the most commonly encountered issues when working with belt
conveyors. While each issue presents significant risk and potential for damage, these issues are
largely prevented by keeping a close eye on conveyor operation and performance, and promptly
addressing any issues that arise.

Consumer Satisfaction through Four P’s of Marketing Mix
Marketing Mix:
Marketing Mix refers to the ingredients or the tools or the variable which the marketer mixes in
order to interact with a particular market. According to Philip Kotler, “Marketing Mix is a set
of marketing tools that the firm uses to pursue its marketing objectives in the target
market.”
Marketing mix is a term used to describe the combination of the four inputs which
constitute the core of a company’s marketing system: the product; the price structure; the
promotional activities, and the distribution system.
Marketing mix represents the total marketing program of a firm. It involves decisions with
regard to product, price, place and promotion. Marketing mix is a b lending of decisions in the 4
P’s. Four major ingredients of marketing mix are:
1. Product-
A product is any good or service that consumers want. It is a bundle of utilities or a cluster of
tangible and intangible attributes. Product component of the marketing mix involves planning,
developing and producing the right type of products and services. It deals with the dimensions
of product line, durability and other qualities. The total product should be such that it really
satisfies the needs of the target market. In short, product mix requires decisions with regard to:
Complaint Level
The level of complaint is how high the complaint or delivery of dissatisfaction, discomfort,
irritation, and anger over the service of the service or product. The dimension or indicator
(Tjiptono, 2007) of complaint level is the high level of complaint. (Tjiptono, 2007)
This level of complaint has been researched by many previous researchers, among which are , .
(Rizqi et al., 2020),(Setiadi & Wahyudi, 2020)
Product Quality
Product Quality is the ability of a product to perform its functions, including the overall
product, reliability, accuracy, ease of operation, repair, and other attributes. Dimensions or
indicators of Product Quality is that customers can get all the benefits of the products offered
to him.(Novia et al., 2020)
Product Quality is a dynamic condition that is interconnected although it can have different
definitions but in essence has a specification that can cause a sense of satisfaction that exceeds
expectations for customers who use it.(Rahman et al., 2018).
Product Quality has been researched by many previous researchers, including (Irma Ike
Saputri, 2017; Novia et al., 2020; Rahman et al., 2018)
Quality of Service
Service Quality is a way of companies that try to make continuous quality improvements to the
processes, products, and services produced by the company Dimensions or indicators of
Service Quality is the more quality of service provided by the company then the satisfaction
felt by customers will be higher, and vice versa.(Marnovita, 2020).
Quality of Service is good and or bad or satisfied or not customers are satisfied with the
service provided. Dimensions or indicators of Quality of Service is the level of
RESEARCH METHOD
The method of writing this scientific article is by qualitative method and library study
(Library Research). Examine the theory and relationships or influences between variables
from books and journals both off line in libraries and online sourced from Mendeley, Google
Scholar and other online media.
In qualitative research, literature studies should be used consistently with methodological
assumptions. This means that it must be used inductively so as not to direct the questions
asked by the researcher. One of the main reasons for conducting qualitative research is that
the research is exploratory, (Ali & Limakrisna, 2013).
FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION
Based on the study of relevant previous theories and research, the discussion of this
literature review article in the concentration of Marketing Management is:
response to customers, and empathy for customer complaints affects the dimensions or
indicators of Customer Satisfaction, (Supardiasa and to the., 2018)
To increase Customer Satisfaction by paying attention to Service Quality, what must be done
by management is to improve the ability of personnel with training or training in the
implementation of customer service in the future. (Librianty & Yuliarto, 2019) Service Quality
affects Customer Satisfaction, if the Quality of Service is well perceived by customers /
consumers then this will be able to increase the level of Customer Satisfaction, (Mulyadi,
2020) Quality of Service affects Customer Satisfaction, this is in line with research conducted
by: (Kuswatiningsih, 2010),(R & Setyawarti, 2018), and (Mulyadi, 2020)

3.3 Sampling
A fine subset of the population, selected from it with the objectives of investigating its
properties is called a sample and the number of unit in the sample is known as sample
size. Sampling is a tool which enables us to draw conclusion about the characteristics of
the population after studying only those subjects or items that are included in the sample.
In sampling method only few units of the population is considered. The choice of an
appropriate sampling design is of keeping in view the objectives and scope of the enquiry
and the type of the universe to be sampled.
Sampling techniques:
Random sampling
Non random sampling
Random sampling:
A random sampling is done in such a way that each member of the universe has a change
of being selected, which enables statistics procedures to be used under the result to
estimate sampling.
Non random sampling:
In the non-random sampling the chance of any particular unit in the population being
selected is unknown. The judgments sampling method under non-random sampling
method was adopted for the study with a sample size of 100 respondents, which are
chosen in a judgment manner from the customer. In this method a designed number of
sample unit is selected deliberately or purposely depending upon the objectives of the
enquirer so that only the important items representing the true characteristics of the
population are included in the sample.
Area of sampling-
In this study primary data plays a vital role. The process of choosing the correct number
of respondents is nothing but sampling procedure.
Sampling area: Faridabad city

CHAPTER- 5
DATA ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
DEFINITION OF ANALYSIS
Analysis is the process of breaking a complex topic or substance into smaller parts to
gain a better understanding of it. The technique has been applied in formal concept is a
relatively recent development. It is the process of placing data in order form, combining
them with existing information’s and extracting meaning from them. Interpretation is the
process of drawing; conclusions from the gathered data in a study.
Analysis methods should be selected on the basis of whether or not they will be able to
effectively answer the evaluation questions within each evaluation project. There are a
number of considerations when selecting evaluation methods. The first is to make sure
that the methods which are selected are appropriate and ethical for the groups involved in
them. Appropriate ethical approval processes need to be followed where required and
evaluators need to confirm to appropriate ethical standards. Methods selection in
evaluation also needs to be very focused on value for money in terms of the selection of
methods. There are usually limited evaluation resources and they need to be used wisely.
Evaluation methods should be ‘fit for purpose’ in the sense that they provide the
amount of information required at a level of certainty which is sufficient for the purpose
of the evaluation.

CHAPTER- 6
FINDINGS OF THE STUDY
Do you have any specific suggestions or feedback for improving our conveyor
products or services?
Ans.
Providing adequate training to all employees about conveyor belt safety standards and
conveyor controls is crucial. Training should cover the safe use of machinery, the
importance of following safety procedures and how to identify potential hazards. It is also
essential to provide refresher training regularly to ensure employees stay up-to-date with
the latest safety measures.
Are there any new features or products you would like to see us offer in the future?
Ans.
. Belt Material Versatility
37
As technology advances, we get more materials used for belts. From starting with leather
and canvas as the two main belt forms, belting supplier now offer a more diverse range
of belts, including plastic, urethane, and synthetic versions. The increase in belt selections
and supplies further improves accessibility to belts and conveyor systems. Numerous belt
options also open the door for multiple applications, depending on the material’s
durability, lifespan, and characteristics.
Smarter Systems
Improved Productivity
Updated software, increased durability, and other advancements lead to more productive
systems. The main reason for progress is to improve the item in question. At the end of
the day, the goal of conveyor systems is to carry out their functionality. With the new
upgrades, fewer mishaps should occur, quality of work should improve, fast and efficient
systems will go in place, and better production rates should arise.

RECOMMENDATIONS & CONCLUSIONS
39
CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
Conclusion
Based on theory, relevant articles and discussions can then be formulated hypotheses for
further research: Product Quality affects Customer Satisfaction. Quality of Service
affects Customer Satisfaction. Product Quality affects the Level of Complaints. The
quality of service affects the level of complaints.Customer Satisfaction affects the Level
of Complaints.
Suggestion
Based on the conclusion above, the advice in this article is that there are many other
factors that affect Customer Satisfaction and Complaint Levels, apart from Customer
Satisfaction and Complaint Levels at all types and levels of organizations or companies,
therefore further studies are needed to look for other factors that can affect Customer
Satisfaction and Complaint levels other than those researched in this arikel such as:
Prices, Promotions and Digital Services.
