Comparison analysis of material handling solutions of production workplaces

Abstract

Production and assembling workplaces can be different in manufacturing and physical environment characterisations, or internal structure, involving the applied material handling solutions, which must be suited to the workplace specifications. The general objective of my research is to develop a model which can help to select the most suitable material handling equipment for production workplaces. The topic presented in this paper deals with the comparison of the different handling solutions. After the overview of the material handling model and the handling equipment selection procedure of production workplaces, a comparison analysis of the applicable handling solutions will be introduced. The last chapter of the paper contains an example for the comparison analysis of a given workplace.
