Project Abstract

Abstract
Efficient material handling is a critical aspect of operations in manufacturing organizations as it directly impacts productivity, cost efficiency, and overall performance. This research project focuses on investigating the impact of efficient material handling methods in the context of Max Aluminium Industry located in Owerri. The study aims to analyze the current material handling practices at the organization and propose improvements to enhance efficiency and effectiveness. Through a comprehensive case study approach, data will be collected through observations, interviews with key personnel, and analysis of existing documentation related to material handling processes. The research will evaluate the various material handling methods employed by Max Aluminium Industry, identify bottlenecks, and assess the overall effectiveness of the current system. The findings of the study are expected to highlight the significance of efficient material handling in a manufacturing setting and provide insights into the specific challenges faced by Max Aluminium Industry. By examining the impact of material handling on productivity, cost control, and overall operational performance, the research aims to offer practical recommendations for optimizing material handling processes within the organization. The research project will contribute to the existing body of knowledge on material handling in manufacturing organizations, particularly within the context of the aluminum industry. By focusing on a specific case study, the study will provide valuable insights and practical recommendations that can be applied by other organizations facing similar challenges in material handling. Overall, this research project seeks to demonstrate the importance of efficient material handling methods in enhancing operational efficiency and performance in manufacturing organizations. By conducting a detailed analysis of the current practices at Max Aluminium Industry and proposing targeted improvements, the study aims to support the organization in achieving its operational objectives and maintaining a competitive edge in the industry.
