Study Notes
Supply Chain Basics
- The supply chain starts at ports and mines and goes through transport modes, tipplers, raw material handling systems (RMHS), steel making, rolling, finishing and dispatch.
- The main raw materials used are iron ore fines, lumps, pellets, coal and fluxes.
- Road transportation is used for inbound and outbound supply chain.
- The main focus of this document is inbound road transportation
Overview of Inbound Road Transportation
- The major commodities handled are iron ore fines, lumps, thermal coal, and coking coal and fluxes.
- Road transportation accounts for 35-40% of the inbound transportation.
- The mining operation and logistics are under 24x7 surveillance through cameras and GPS.
- There are 7 coal mines used for the intake of iron ore fines, lumps, pellets and coal.
- The mining permission and payment processes are done through an online system called i3Ms (Integrated Mines & Minerals Management System) of the respective state government.
- Fre8wise is a digitalized GE (Global Enterprise) based application.
Raw Material Vehicle Flow
- Vehicles must go through a main entry gate where security checks are done based on key documents.
- There is a vehicle fitness and workshop check.
- Safety training and personal protective equipment (PPE) are issued.
- The vehicle is weighed on a weighbridge.
- Transporters are assigned and orders/sub-orders are created using SAP (GE).
- The vehicle is assigned to a workshop for safety checks.
- Weighment and tare weight are captured and recorded.
- The vehicle is then assigned an unloading point.
Vehicle Checklist
-
The vehicle must have three piece mirrors (truck, trailer and dumper), a single mirror on the driver side, a seatbelt, an indicator, a horn, scotch blocks, a reversing horn, a cabin door in good condition, tires in good condition, a handbrake, a front windshield, a main brake, a wiper blade assembly, headlights, a parking brake, parking lights and run/side under protection device.
