Material handling involves unloading, stacking , loading
and transportation of the material.
Loading/ unloading:
While receiving the material they need to be unloaded from
the carrying vehicles like trucks and wagons. Once the
items are unloaded they need to be placed in a proper
manner so as to ensure proper storage as well as ease of
further handling which is known as stacking. While the
material need to be transported the same needs to be
loaded back on the carrying |
|
|
vehicles like trucks and wagons. While
loading and unloading of material the precaution is to
be taken so as to ensure that no damage or loss occur
to the material being handled, to other
material/properties in the vicinity or to the people. |

the material from the point of
unloading to the place of actual storage in stores and
also from the stores to the point of actual use of
materials.
Material handling equipments:

fowlers, fork lifts of various carrying / lifting
capacities.

from Stores by the user department against a n Issue note.

plant for production/ operation like non |
|
|
ferrous metals, ferro-alloys, heavy chemicals etc are shifted daily by
stores to the user department at the predetermined rate
given by the user for which consolidated issue notes are
given by the user departments. Materials are also shifted
on specific requirement ( like heavy spares) of user
department , by the Stores department directly or through
the material handling contractor. |

Authorization & release of materials:
To ensure the issue of the materials to the correct user
in correct quantity there is a system of releasing the
items for issue. The central agencies responsible for the
procurement of the particular item releases the item in
specific quantity to various users. For example Stock
control releases the AP item for issue , SPC(Spare parts
cell) releases the spare parts and so on. However the
items directly procured by the user department is issued
to them without any specific release from a releasing
agency.
Issue Notes & Gate Pass :
|
Material is issued from Stores to the actual users against
a document called Material Issue Note or Stores Issue
voucher. Only Authorized persons can raise/ authorize the
Issue notes for drawing the material from Stores.
Stores issues the materials to the user department against
the issue notes after scrutinizing the same & updates the
bin card by posting the issue transaction. After the issue
of materials these issue notes are sent to Accounts for
issue accounting. |

the system of moving the items against the Gate pass
issued by the Stores depot exists.. |
