TISCO goes live with Scheduling solution from Broner
3 January 2008
Broner Metals Solutions has announced that Taiyuan Iron and Steel Ltd (TISCO) has gone live with a Broner Scheduling solution at its plant in TaiYuan city, ShanXi province, China.
Taiyuan Iron and Steel Ltd is the number one stainless and carbon steel manufacturer in China, that takes pride in accurate and timely delivery. It will use the Broner Caster Scheduler, Melt Shop Control Centre and Schedule Editor modules to measure and manage its main KPIs, improve visibility of the production process and adherence to plans.
Broner Caster Scheduler performs planning and scheduling of continuous casters and helps maximise productivity of the team responsible for caster and hot mill schedules by creating more accurate schedules, faster.
Broner Melt Shop Control Centre schedules and controls steel production, and is configured to cover a wide range of different process phases from hot metal production, steelmaking and secondary metallurgy to casting and ladle management. It will help TISCO to achieve greater production visibility, reduce delivery times and improve the reliability of delivery dates.
The project took 7 months to implement, spanned three casters in the melt shop and involved integration with existing plant's ERP and manufacturing execution systems.
Nie Haifeng, TISCO Project Manager said, "We believe that Broner modules will fulfil the requirements and expectations that were set prior to the implementation, and will help us to maintain and further improve a high level of customer service."
