Abstract: In this paper, a methodology to evaluate the effectiveness of material handling equipments variables using graph theoretic approach (GTA) is presented. Variables affecting the effectiveness of material handling equipments and their interactions are analysed by developing a mathematical model using GTA. Permanent function performance index is obtained from the matrix model developed from the digraph. This permanent function value ranks the equipment variables which help in selection of optimum process parameters during flexible and automated material handling system adoption.
