Abstract
Steel has been known to humanity for 4,000 years. The level of per capita consumption of steel is treated as one of the most important indicators of socioeconomic development and living standards of the people in a country. Steel rerolling mills, also called reduction mills, are widely distributed across the world. The major concerns in the steel rerolling mill are misroll and cobble, which adversely affect most of the technoeconomic parameters, including the mill utilization, material yield, mill productivity, overall equipment effectiveness, overall line efficiency, and specific heat consumption of the reheating furnace. This paper discusses the major issues that lead to misroll and cobble in the rerolling mills, and these issues were identified via a shop floor analysis and breakdown records at an iron and steel rerolling mill. After the identification of the root causes of misroll, solutions are suggested.
期刊介绍:
Performance Improvement Quarterly is an official publication of the International Society for Performance Improvement. Founded in 1962, the International Society for Performance Improvement (ISPI) is the leading international association dedicated to improving productivity and performance in the workplace. ISPI represents more than 10,000 international and chapter members throughout the United States, Canada, and 40 other countries. ISPI"s mission is to develop and recognize the proficiency of our members and advocate the use of Human Performance Technology. Assembling an Annual Conference & Expo and other educational events like the Institute, publishing books and periodicals, and supporting research are some of the ways ISPI works toward achieving this mission.
