IDENTIFYING THE BOTTLENECKS & INCREASING THE PRODUCTION OF FINISHING AREA IN A STEEL MANUFACTURING PROCESS INDUSTRY – A CASE STUDY

The motive of this paper is to present an overview to identify the bottlenecks & increasing the production in a finishing area of a mill. As   it was well known that the rolling area has higher production than the finishing area of the mill. Therefore, with the help of various work study & time study methods, ABC analysis & Fish-Bone analysis & other tools & techniques of industrial engineering, which are one of the most influential & most effective methodologies for eliminating delays associated with the working process in the finishing area of a mill. This methodology helps in identifying the bottlenecks and also finding the NAV (Non-added values) attached with this finishing area of a system. And henceforth this paper concludes with the suggestions as to take the necessary action for improving overall performance of a system with the complete assurance of large annual profit margins. This prescriptive paper proposes genuine solutions & results into increment in production of the mill.
