A methodology for the selection of Material Handling Equipment in manufacturing systems

Mastering the Material Handling System in manufacturing is a crucial issue. According to (Hellmann et al., 2019), costs of activities range from 15% 70% total depending on kind production. This paper discusses selection Equipment for plants. The such equipment and their level automation plays significant role success material handling system definition, which influences performances. Through an analysis literature field studies conducted with industrial companies, methodology consistent list criteria are proposed. A multi-criteria decision technique based AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) proposed realize selection. proposition implemented demonstrator software tool illustrated simple example.
