THE ANALYSIS OF MACHINE OPERATION AND EQUIPMENT LOSS IN IRONWORKS AND STEELWORKS - Production Enginnering Archives

The article presents a case study of the identification and analysis of operating and equipment losses in a steel plant. Losses may be visible in costs resulting from premature wear of machine and equip-ment components, removal of emergency failures related to quality losses, including loss of reputa-tion of a reliable supplier, as well as losses related to production, especially in the case of continuous production. The analysis of losses was based on the cost criterion, including losses resulting from the loss of a potential client. The real data from the 2016 were used in the case study. In order to ensure proper operation at the finishing department, standard solutions have been developed. The analysis of losses was based on the Pareto principle and the analysis of TPM coefficients.
