It is no wonder that it costs can be as much as 50% of the total manufacturing cost. Improper handling of raw materials can be a major factor in waste and product damage. Every time a material is moved, there is danger of bumping, dropping, and crushing. Unsafe operation of industrial trucks, conveyors, and carts has been responsible for many serious plant accidents. It affects the costs of manufacturing and distribution and the selling price of all clothing products. Modern handling methods are directed at accomplishing movement and distribution with a minimum of labor, waste, and cost, within the shortest time and with maximum safety. In the garments industry, materials handling is concerned with the movement of raw material from a warehouse, supplier, or the receiving bay to the bulk storage area or to a processing line. During processing, materials need to be moved from one process to another. After processing, materials need to be moved from packaging to a warehouse or to dispatch.
