What is outline principle of material handling?

Materials management can deal with campus planning and building design for the movement of materials, or with logistics that deal with the tangible components of a supply chain. Specifically, this covers the acquisition of spare parts and replacements, quality control of purchasing and ordering such parts, and the standards involved in ordering, shipping, and warehousing the said parts.

A materials management plan may include planning guidelines or full design for the following:

• Truck delivery and service vehicle routes, to reduce vehicle / pedestrian conflict
• Loading docks and delivery points, to increase accommodation and reduce queuing and vehicle idling
• Recycling, trash, and hazardous waste collection and removal, to increase waste diversion and reduce costs
• Service equipment and utility infrastructure relocation or concealment, to improve aesthetics and realize landscaping goals
• Regulatory and operation planning
