ABSTRACT

The traditional manufacturing processes resulted in depletion of natural resources as well as created

environmental pollution issues which were directly affecting the society. Sustainable development in

manufacturing industries leads the way towards clean and green manufacturing. Sustainable manufacturing

is emerging out as one of the most important area for environmental, economic, societal, and technological

changes in an industry. Steel Re-Rolling mill is the second most important steel forming industry in India.

In terms of specific energy consumption, the steel re-rolling process largely contributes to the total energy

input required for the smooth operation of the plant. The manufacturing process of steel re-rolling from

ingots to finished products has high energy consumption and it directly affects productivity and

manufacturing cost. Measuring the productivity of the process can unleash the low productive process,

which leads towards rectification for increasing the productivity of lean area. Bhavnagar district of Gujarat

state is having one of the maximum steel re-rolling mills. The productivity of Steel Re-Rolling mill of

Bhavnagar cluster is considered for research. Initially energy productivity and energy productivity ratio of

the whole manufacturing process was also calculated with the current data. Later on Performance

Objective – Productivity model is developed and applied to the mills of Bhavnagar Cluster. The Key

Performance Indicators were identified by intensive survey and process of prioritization was done by

Analytical Hierarchical Process. The actual values of the Key Performance Indicators of the system were

compared with the objectivated values Key Performance Indicators of the system in the developed model.

The outcome of the model lead to Productivity Index of the system, sub-system, and key performance areas

of the process revealing the areas with low-performance index which have the highest impact on

productivity of the process. This calculation showed that energy subsystem is having the lowest

performance index and is the main source of loss leading to low productivity. Rectifications and

recommendations are made to increase the productivity of energy sub-system. The developed model was

applied in the mills which gave positive output and better insight regarding the productivity of the

manufacturing process. The empirical relation between raw material consumed and coal fuel used is

developed which was used in industry to give out positive result in fuel saving.

STATE OF ART OF RESEARCH

Steel industry is the spine of any nation. India being 3rd

largest producer of steel in world after

China and European Union produces 168.2 Million MT annually. These steel industries are equally

supported by secondary steel industries which comprise privately owned small and medium sized re-rolling

mills (SRRMs). There are nearly 1200 working re-rolling mills contributing nearly 57% of total India’s

steel outputs (bars, sections, industrial products, etc.).

Steel re-rolling is the process of converting raw/unprocessed steel into finished products by rolling and re-

rolling them in their hot state into desired shapes such as bars, sectional products, and wires. A bulk of this

finished products are utilized in construction sector. Steel re-rolling process is energy and waste intensive

process. Direct energy use in the SRRM sector consists of thermal energy used for heating the billets/ingots

and electric energy used for giving the shape by passing the material through rollers. Indirect energy usage

is accounted by the use of energy intensive raw materials. The SRRM units are characterized by the use of

outdated and low investment technologies and practices. In general, there is low awareness about energy

efficiency and many companies lack the in-house engineering and technical man power to absorb energy

efficiency measures in their process and to operate high end-technologies.

The manufacturing activities are the main source of consuming natural resources often detrimental to

environment affecting the sustainability of the process. Probing the low productive area in the

manufacturing system can lead to a sustainable manufacturing process. An attempt is made to develop a

sustainable manufacturing process of steel re-rolling mills.

DEFINITION OF PROBLEM

Sustainability in steel re-rolling mills is the most prominent issue considering at the current

requirement of the world. The steel re-rolling mills working currently are having very low productivity

which affects the economic, environmental, and social parameters.

The issues which are hindrance to the attainment of sustainability are:

The mill owners were not aware of energy productivity.

High Energy consumption due to low productive process.

Variable Fuel cost and grade of coal.

Inconsistency in availability of raw material.

Loss of massive amount of heat from furnace by flue gases and hot metal.

High material loss due to inaccurate heating profile in furnace.

Electric energy loss due inefficient working of gear box and idleness in rolling process.

Unskilled labour.

ORIGINAL CONTRIBUTION BY THESIS

Referring the literature and consulting the personnel of re-rolling mills, it was concluded that the

mills where concentrating on energy efficiency rather than considering productivity of the mill. The main

objective of the research was to develop a productivity model for steel re-rolling mills.

The key contributions of the research are:

Derivation of key performance indicators of steel re-rolling mills and prioritizing them in

accordance to their weightages in manufacturing process.

Development of model for calculating the productivity index of the steel rolling mill which lead to

identify low productive area of the manufacturing process.

Application of developed model in the re-rolling mill for more productive process and attain

sustainability in manufacturing.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

The flow chart as shown figure-1 is the whole

methodology of research carried out during

this process.

A. Derivation of Key Performance

Indicators.

The key performance indicators are the

parameters which directly or indirectly affect

the manufacturing process. Key performance

indicators were derived by consulting the

mill personnel. The key performance

indicators derived are shown in table-1

below:

B. Computing the weightages of key

performance indicators

The prioritizing of key performance

indicators was done by consulting the re-

rolling mill personnel and energy

auditors of re-rolling mills. The

hierarchical according to the importance

was checked for consistency by

analytical hierarchical process (AHP) and weightages of each KPI where found which were playing

role in manufacturing.

C. Mapping and allocating KPI into subcategories.

The key performance indicators were divided under the roof of sub category Cost and Energy. Cost

and energy were considered as the most important part of the whole manufacturing system by the

owners and energy auditors of re-rolling mills.

E. Relation between fuel consumption and raw material processed

The annual data of fuel consumed and raw material processed is used to develop empirical relation

which is very important for knowing the relation of this two important parameters.

The correlation tested between fuel consumed and raw material processed generated from the data was

0.89 (better when correlation which is near to 1).

Regression analysis was carried for generating optimal mathematical. Raw material is considered as

independent variable and fuel used is considered as dependent variable. Further carrying ANOVA test

the mathematical model (Eq. – 01) was developed having R2 value 0.80.

Fuel [Coke Coal –tons] = 17.33 + 0.097 x (Raw Material Used [tons]) Eq – 01

F. Calculation of Energy productivity and energy productivity ratio

Energy efficiency is simply using less power by installing equipment that uses less energy to

perform the processes.

Energy productivity is performing the process without enhancing the instrumentation and making

energy work harder and reducing the energy waste.

Energy productivity is the ratio of total revenue generated [INR] in mills to energy input [Kwh]

from raw material to finish product (Eq. - 02)

Energy Productivity =

Eq – 02

Energy productivity focuses on maximizing the economic benefit for every unit of energy which is

consumed in the process.

Energy productivity of all the mills is shown in figure-3 and table –8 along with the data which is

used for calculation of energy productivity.

Energy Productivity Ratio

Energy productivity ratio [EPR] is defined

as the ratio to the total energy of raw

materials, electricity, and other energy

used (Eq.-03).

The energy productivity so obtained provides a way to make the decision, rather to continue the

production process or the process is having energy losses which are to be rectified as it calculates the yield

of energy. If the EPR is greater than 1 than the production process can be continued and if less than 1 than

there energy waste in the system.

For the calculation of EPR of the re-rolling mills the parameters considered are as follows:

[PO-P Model] :

The PO-P model emphasis on the achievement of

goals related to the system within the constraints of

the resource available in manufacturing process.

Energy productivity is only related to current data

while PO-P model takes into consideration the

objectives of the process which is to be achieved

considering the unaltered present condition.

PO-P Methodology

The methodology to calculate the productivity index [PI] of the whole system comprises of the

following steps (figure-5):

i. Identification of Sub-systems

ii. Identification of KPA’S [Key Performance Area] in each of the Sub-systems.[4,5,6]

iii. The setting of Performance Objectives.

iv. Ranking and Weighing of Sub-systems, KPA’s

and Performance Objectives.

v. Determination of objectivized output.

vi. Calculation of productivity index

vii. Identification of Sub-system, KPA’s with low

performance.

The process of PO-P model and the measurement of

productivity of the whole system is structured in stages as

shown in figure – 6. To arrive to this stage the whole

calculation in divided into stages:

i. Calculation of productivity index of KPI’s of

subsystem.

ii. Calculation of productivity index of subsystem.

iii. Calculation of productivity index of system.

The Productivity index of a sub-system is generated from the productivity indices of the key

performance areas [KPA’S] of the sub-system.

Productivity model of steel re-rolling mills

To develop a productivity model of manufacturing system, two sub-systems and their respective KPA’s

were taken into account after having a conversation with the directors of the industries. The prioritization of

KPA’S was analytically sequenced by Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP). The Subsystems and their

importance KPA’s are listed in table - 10.

The output of developed PO-P model is the performance index of whole re-rolling

mill and further analyzing the model the subsystem energy is the weak performer of the

whole system i.e energy losses are more or in other words energy productivity of the

manufacturing system is less. Comparing the performance index of each subsystem as shown

in table – 17 the performance indices of the energy subsystem are ranges from 53% to 60%

while that of the cost are nearly 70%-75%. Thus this result reveals that energy sub-system is

the weak performer in the re-rolling mills. The energy subsystem is the area where more

emphasis is to be given for increasing the productivity of the whole system.

CONCLUSION

• The derived key performance indicators of steel re-rolling mills are the major support

for developing a sustainable manufacturing process.

• The analytical model developed will be an aid for approximating the quantity of fuel

quantity for processing the raw material.

• Energy Productivity -EP and Energy Productivity Ratio -EPR will be an aid for the

managers of steel re-rolling mills for calculating the productivity of the process.

• Performance Objective- Productivity (PO-P model) developed will provide assistance

for knowing the weak key performance indicator of the whole system leading to

rectify it for a sustainable manufacturing process.

• Energy subsystem is the major concern for the low productivity of the whole system.

• The inefficient technologies, procedures and neglecting the periodic maintenance

resulted in major loss of energy in the industry.

• Energy savings is the most vital area in steel re-rolling mills.

FUTURE SCOPE

• Only process element is considered in this research which makes a gateway to further

analyze the other two elements of sustainability i.e. system & product.

• More in-depth study can be done of individual Key Performance Indicators.

• This model can also be designed and developed for other manufacturing process.
