Abstract
As pointed out in the introduction to the section on “Management Methods,” the degree to which the traffic department gets involved with materials handling varies considerably from company to company, ranging from instances where the traffic department has complete authority for all non-production materials handling to those where the traffic department is not even involved in loading, bracing or similar activities.
