Client : Hospet
Steel Limited. Koppal, Hospet Dist., Karnataka.
The Core Problem
Dumpers carry iron ore from mines situated
at Sandur, Karnataka to the Hospet Steel Plant located at Hospet,
Karnataka around 70 kms away from mines. As per the calculation
goes each Dumper should make three trips to & fro in a day.
In reality, they are making one trip in a day. This led to a serious
drain on available resources and also contributed to enhanced
capital costs with very low returns for the Company.
Several factors contribute to this, but the
management is unable to identify the reasons in absence of real-time
and factual inputs.
VTS was expected to provide these inputs so
as to enable the management take proper steps to further enhance
the capacity of each dumper and thereby contribute to a better
and optimized management of the resources. In the long run, this
represents the first step in a total SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT Solution
for the client.
Objective
