Abstract : The manufacturing, logistics, storage and distribution operations all can’t be run without material handling. It entails transferring, storing, securing and handling products during various corporate activities. To examine the relationship between material handling and business profitability, this research paper studies existing practices, technical advancements and strategic material handling system installations. The research seeks to explain how effective material handling results also in improved output, reduced costs, and increased profit margins from the use of both quantitative and qualitative approaches. The outcomes emphasize how important it is to invest money into process integration, employee training, and current handling technologies, to enhance financial outcomes.
