Steel Foundry Practices and Performance Benchmarking
نویسنده
چکیده
The Steel Founders’ Society regularly surveys member companies to determine the typical practices used in steel casting production. SFSA has also promoted the participation of member companies in the Performance Benchmarking survey available each year to members of participating manufacturing associations. It is useful to take a look across the results of the past several years and to reflect on some of the trends and issues that face the industry.

متن کاملActivity-Based Cost Estimation Model for Foundry Systems Producing Steel Castings
Attention in this work is directed to estimate the manufacturing costs by using Activity-Based Costing (ABC) method for the castings that are produced by steel foundry. ABC is a cost accounting method that can overcome many of the limitations of Traditional Cost Accounting (TCA) methods. Cost rates for each department in the foundry are estimated by engineering procedures. Consequently, costest...
متن کاملRespiratory abnormalities among workers in an iron and steel foundry.
A study of the health of 78 workers in an iron and steel foundry in Vancouver, British Columbia, was carried out and the results compared with those found in 372 railway repair yard workers who were not significantly exposed to air contaminants at work. The foundry workers were exposed to PepSet, which consists of diphenyl methane diisocyanate (MDI) and phenol formaldehyde and their decompositi...
متن کاملPerformance Evaluation in Steel Manufacturing: a Case Study with Simulation
This paper discusses a simulation study of cyclic production systems with a travelling crane. The scope of the system covers the tipping stands of the hot iron into foundry ladle, stands of desulphurization and stands of converters. Therefore, the first aim of this study is the development of a discrete-event simulation model in a steel industry case, and a simulation software Witness is used f...
متن کاملPerformance Measurement Of IT Service Management: A Case Study Of An Australian University (Research In Progress)
IT departments are adopting service orientation by implementing IT service management (ITSM) frameworks. Most organisations are hesitant to discuss their ITSM performance measurement practices, tending to focus more on challenges. However there are good practices that are found amidst the challenges. We present a case study that provides an account of the performance measurement practices in th...
