Study for Validating the Plan of a New Steel Processing Plant Setup
Key Points
- Storage space requirement
- MHE utilization observation (for cranes and forklifts)
- Dispatch truck utilization improvement
Client's Challenge
- There exist certain constraints in the existing setup
- The new proposed facility to be free of these constraints
- Calculation on the number of cranes, and MHEs required
- Calculation of storage space
PMI's Approach
- Analysis of Data, building the model, and verification
- Analysis of baseline model results
- Bottleneck identification
- Debottlenecking
- Storage space reallocation based on iterative analysis
Findings & Recommendation
- Plant capacity (of 21 tonnes/hr) validated
- Present number of cranes was found insufficient
- Hence some material handling was shifted to a forklift to
reduce the load on the crane - Optimum truck inter-arrival time determined
