Abstract
When the empirical principles for the material handing management are arranged as changes of liveliness index based on the"liveliness theory", they can be organized in a systematic table. If you look for any blank box in this table, you will be able to find out a possibility of liveliness changes which have not been principles yet. This technique helps discover a possibility to create new useful principles. This study is aimed to discover possible new principles, put real meanings on them, constitute them as practical principles, and finally make a productive contribution to the material handing management. The systematic table prepared by the above technique gave us the following principles : - Hand truck principle, - Flow production principle, -Working-in-motion principle, - Live storage principle, - Through transit principle, - Containerization principle.
