Conference paper "A paper prepared for the conference, "Productivity Through New Technology", sponsored by Economic Council of Canada, Ontario Economic Council, Toronto, May 1965." Digitized edition from print [produced by Publishing and Depository Services Directorate]. "Industry is a mass flow of materials from the mine, forest, field and ocean to the ultimate consumer. In this flow the materials are handled, held and stored in some cases hundreds of times as they move through the manufacturing cycle before becoming finished products. Some of the material handling operations are fairly obvious but many others are hidden. They all create costs that represent a large proportion of the total costs of the manufactured article. It is the purpose of this paper to describe how firms might reduce or eliminate material handling and speed up the movement of material through the process and to the customer. Particular attention will be directed to recent developments in this field"--Introd., p. 1. Materials handling Beamish, B. D. Economic Council of Canada.
