CICMHE - Taxonomy
This material handling equipment (MHE) taxonomy was created by Michael G. Kay for use in IE 453: Facilities Design and IE 753: Material Handling Systems at North Carolina State University. The taxonomy is adapted from the MHE classifications presented in Table 1 of Chu et al. [1] and Section 6.6 of Tompkins et al. [2]. Although not explicitly cited, much of the information provided for each type of equipment has been culled from the following primary sources: Tompkins et al. [2], Kulwiec [3], Konz [4], and Ward [5].
