Abstract

India is the third largest producer of crude steel in the world. Steel is a vital element for the socioeconomic development of a developing nation like India. This study aims at evaluating the performance of a steel re-rolling mill by calculating the OEE and measures like implementation of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), Proper Production Planning and Control (PPC) etc to improve the performance were also suggested. Implementation of the solutions and suggestions showed a growth of approx. 17 % in the Overall Equipment Effectiveness.

Keywords- OEE, TPM, PPC, Steel Re-rolling
