Material Handling Equipment Selection Algorithm for Production Workplaces

Nowadays, the consumption is the most significant factor in the economy. The consumption requires different items, which must be produced by the industry. Production processes are realized mainly on workplaces, so their importance is inevitably. This paper presents an overview about the planning process of material handling machines, especially for the production workplaces. The research, shown in this paper, targets to develop a model, which can help to select the most suitable material handling equipment for different production workplaces. The topic presented in this paper deals with the building of selection algorithm for the exclusion of non-applicable equipment types. To show the useability of the concept an example will also be presented.
