    Study Notes

    TSM Plant Overview

    • The TSM plant has a steel-making capacity of 4.8 MTPA.
    • The rail coefficient for the TSM plant is 72%.
    • The plant produces various products like HR, CR, and slabs.
    • The monthly production capacity is 440 KT.

    Product Mix and Dispatch

    • The product mix consists of HR (350 kT), CR (50 kT), and slabs (40 kT).
    • HR products are dispatched through rail and road.
    • CR products are primarily dispatched via rail but also transported by road in small quantities.
    • Slabs are dispatched by road.

    CRM and Dispatch Activities

    • The acceptable vehicle turnaround time (TAT) for dispatch is ~110 vehicles.
    • The CRM logistics park handles approximately 60 vehicles.
    • Dispatch activities for both HR and CR products are conducted by dedicated teams.

    Process Flow Path in CR Dispatch

    • The process begins when the vehicle enters Gate 2, starting the TAT calculation.
    • The vehicle then proceeds to the CRM parking area.
    • Lashing and loading are performed in sequence.
    • Weighment is done before the PDIR (Pre-Dispatch Inspection Report) check, except for CRCA, CTL, and HR slit products.
    • If the weight difference exceeds 100 kg after loading, the product is sent back to the production team.
    • Upon successful PDIR check, an invoice is issued for the product.

    Process Flow Path in HR Dispatch

    • The process begins with the vehicle entering Gate 2.
    • Vehicles proceed to the HSM parking area where lashing and loading activities occur.
    • Weighment is performed before the PDIR check.
    • If the weight difference exceeds 100 kg, the product is sent back to the production team.
    • An invoice is generated upon finalizing the PDIR check.

    Process Flow Path in Slab Dispatch

    • Vehicles arrive at Gate 2 to initiate the TAT.
    • They are directed to the HSM parking area.
    • Slabs are loaded directly onto the vehicles, bypassing the weighment process.
    • PDIR check is conducted before dispatch.
    • An invoice is issued upon successful PDIR validation.

    Infrastructure and Facilities

    • The CRM Logistics Park features a Yard-10 with 5kT storage capacity and 3 loading points.
    • The park also uses overhead cranes (O.H cranes) for multiple tasks like loading, unloading, shifting, and packing.
    • The SMS-1 CR Yard has a storage capacity of 12kT and 9 loading points for dispatch.
    • The SMS yard features two O.H cranes with one being permanently shut down or under maintenance.

    Plant Codes

    • Various plant codes represent different product types and processing lines within the plant.
    • For example, code 742 represents HRPO and pickling lines, 743 denotes Galvanized Plain (GP) and Galvalume (GL) lines, and 744 symbolizes PPGL and CR coil lines.
    • Each code is linked to specific storage yards and loading points for efficient dispatch.

    Traceability Challenges

    • The main traceability issue is the intrashifting of CR products by production teams.
    • This internal shifting often leads to inaccuracies and inconsistencies, as the production team does not consistently update the system or inform the OBL team.

    Crane Utilization and Dispatch Strategies

    • O.H. cranes are used for various activities within the plant facilities.
    • After loading, all CR products are weighed again. If the difference exceeds 100 kg, the product is returned to production. This is especially common for HR slit and PPGL products, often increasing TAT.
    • The traceability issue with CR products primarily stems from internal production shifting without adequate system updates or communication with the OBL team.

    TSM Plant Overview

    • The steel making capacity of the TSM plant is 4.8 MTPA.
    • The rail coefficient for TSM plant is 72%.
    • The plant produces various steel products including HR, CR, and Slab.

    Product Mix

    • The plant produces a variety of steel products including HR coils, Hot Rolled Plate, CRCA sheet, GP coils, Galume coils, and other products.
    • 350KT of HR, 50KT of CR and 40KT of Slab are produced.

    Dispatch Logistics

    • The acceptable vehicle turnaround time (TAT) is ~110 vehicles for dispatch activities.
    • The CRM Logistics Park has ~ 60 vehicles on average.

    CR Dispatch Process Flow Path

    • The TAT starts at the CRM parking area and ends at Gate 2.
    • The process involves loading, lashing, weighment, PDIR check, and tarpaulin activities.
    • The weighment is applicable for Non CRCA, CTL & HR Slit only.

    HR Dispatch Process Flow Path

    • The TAT starts at HSM Parking and ends at Gate 2.
    • The process includes loading, lashing, weighment, and PDIR check.

    Slab Dispatch Process Flow Path

    • The TAT starts at HSM Parking and ends at Gate 2.
    • The process includes loading, lashing, and weighment, and the slab is dispatched directly to customers.

    Yard 10 Infrastructure

    • Yard 10 has 5kT storage capacity and three loading points for dispatch.
    • It uses O.H cranes for loading, unloading, shifting, packing, and other activities.

    Crane Utilization for Dispatch

    • Re-weighment of CR products is done after loading.
    • If the difference is >100 kgs, it is sent back to the production team.

    Traceability Issues

    • Traceability issues in CR products are mainly due to intra-shifting by the production team and not updating in the system.

    SMS-1 CR Yard Infrastructure

    • SMS-1 CR Yard has a storage capacity of 12KT and nine loading points for dispatch.
    • Two O.H cranes are located on one half of the shed and one on the other half.

    Plant Codes and Product Full Forms

    • Plant codes are used to identify different production lines.
    • Several product full forms are listed, including CRCA, GP Sheet, GL Sheet, PPGL, GC Sheet, and HRPO.
