between a building and a transportation vehicle or a machine. To make is shorter, it is a
process of Moving, Storing, Protecting and Controlling materials.

V. Productivity Ratios
Productivity ratio is an important indicator for judging the materials handling system. This
ratio can be computed and compared with similar firms or in the same over a period of
time. In order to know the total effort needed for moving materials, it may be necessary to
compute Materials Handling Labour (MHL) ratio. This ratio is calculated as under:
In order to ascertain whether is the handling system delivers materials work centres with
maximum efficiency, it is desirable to compute Manufacturing Cycle Efficiency. The ratio
is:
Moreover, these ratios are used as indicators of the Performance of a system. These ratios also
are monitored periodically to be sure that their values are within acceptable tolerances
