• Support Services (Operations, Plant Yards, Stockyard, Physical Distribution, Port, etc.)

Steel Manufacturing Operations

• Data on production in Metric Tons (MnT) for 2022-23
• Asset/location details for various steel plants (location, iron ore, coking coal data) in India and globally, including precise locations and production sizes.

Transportation Terms

• A chart detailing various international transportation terms (EXW, FCA, FAS, FOB, CFR, CIF, CPT, CIP, DPU, DAP, DDP).
• Diagrams show seller's obligations and buyer's obligations and risk transfer

Supply Chain Network

• Diagram depicts a supply chain network with suppliers, manufacturers, warehouses and distribution centers, and customers.
• Cost components including material, transportation, and inventory costs are highlighted.

Comparison of Modes of Transportation

• A table comparing costs, speed, capacity, reach, shipment visibility, reliability, and environmental impact for truck, rail, water, and air transportation.

Logistics Material Movements and Flows (Diagram)

• Detailed diagram mapping material movements and flows through various locations (mills, yards, sheds, ports).
• Includes abbreviations and codes for each location.

Logistics Material Movements and Modes

• A table lists planned movements for various scenarios such as movements from sheds to mills, origins to destinations, stockyards, and customers.
• Specific movements are identified by number.

Logistics Solution and Constraints

• States that a successful solution considers three key factors (cost, time, and resources/constraints.)

Dispatch Planning

• Delivery compliance, delivery costs (base freight, idle freight, handling charges, terminal charges), resource utilization, and DC cost are key points mentioned for dispatch planning.
• EXW and ERS delivery methods are defined.

Cost Components

• Table provides information on freight classes, train loads, wagon loading, class surcharges, and remarks.
• Also covers Rake Fee Components details (for different types of steel, resources, and sizes).

Cost Scenario Building and Key KPIs

• A key metrics table highlights data like coil weight, freight, idle freight, and more, broken down by mode of transport.
• Key performance indicators (KPIs) of the planning team are given. Data for these KPIs includes dispatch compliance, TDSC cost(Total Dispatch System Cost), rake idle freight, road idle freight, and suboptimal cost. The table includes specifics for different locations (e.g., TSJ, TSK, TSM-A).

Rake Resource Overview

• Includes various data, including Indian Railway rake types, capacities, and routes.
• Also specifies which road vehicle types are suitable for specific loads.

RDSO Norms

• Detailed technical drawings and notes on cargo loading specifications for various steel coils on railcars.

Infrastructure Overview

• Shows a diagram of the railway siding layout, containing locations like sheds, mills, and coil yards.
• The overview illustrates the location and capacity of various facilities and their associated roles in logistics. Figures for operations like rakes & vehicles, storage areas, and lead times are mentioned.

Delivery Compliance Calculation

• Metrics for compliance and delivering data are presented.
• Methods for measuring compliance at order item and overall delivery levels, and data analysis for determining order fulfilment and unfulfilled orders is described.

Delivery Compliance Tracker

• Charts and graphs track compliance performance over time for different time frames and locations (e.g., weekly performance).

Delivery Compliance Dashboard

• A dashboard showing data on forecast inventory report, SO, color priority wise volume, and delivery date monitoring for various locations and facilities.
• Delay calculations and other specifics are included in the dashboard.

RCA for Delivery Failures

• Analysis of delivery failures, including compliance data, plant-wise delays for different dates (June 24).

Rail Execution

• Image of a railcar transporting steel coils illustrates a railway execution.

Road Execution: Cluster Mapping, SOB

• Data showing the mapping of road execution clusters with specific Vendor Partners and their contracted service obligations (SOBs).

Contract Administration

• Shows flowchart of the penalties for various contractual compliance issues (such as late delivery, risk purchase, vehicle shortfall, and placement failures).

Key Projects with Stakeholders

• A list of key projects underway related to logistics and their associated stakeholders.
