1.2 Statement of the Problem
One
vital decision that firms make is how to design and where locate their
storage facilities. This decision goes a long way in determining the
extent to which the firm will achieve its objectives. That is to get
products and services to customer faster and at lesser cost to the firm
and customers.
Neglecting to manage the activities effectively can
result in inefficiencies that out weigh gains or benefit in good
management of such vital activities as transportation materials handing,
inventory management and maintenance and information flow.
However,
organizations are faced with various problems to design a store house.
Some of these problems may include; construction cost, cost of
installation, cost of land, rate levied upon the new building by local
authority and cost of survey, planning designing. Other problems may
also include cost of materials handling i.e (equipment needed to load
and off load materials and also for transporting materials), cost of
storage equipment needed, and payment to building contact and for other
incidental cost.
As a result, a poor storage design will result in
poor performance such as materials damages and obsolescence, theft and
pilfering, poor communication network, difficulties in the movement of
materials within and outside etc regardless of the firms position in the
industry or its product acceptability in other location.
1.3 Objective of the Study
i. To examine the effect of store design on materials handling
ii. To ascertain difficulties associated with store design on materials handing.
iii. To identify necessary solution to curb these difficulties.
iv. To determine the degree of importance of placed to store building in PHCN.
1.4 Significance of the Study
The
findings of the research will be useful to power holding company of
Nigeria (PHCN) Kaduna as it will enhance or improve the store design
system and techniques effectively and efficiently.
Prospective
researchers may find findings of the researcher as a reference point
particularly for those who may wish to carry out further research on the
related field under study.
To the entire populace, that come across
this research work, the research work will provide them with the
knowledge on the important store design on material handling is to an
organization and it will also add value to their knowledge. Also it will
serve as pre-requisite for the award of Higher National Diploma (HND)
in Purchasing and Supply management.
