SLAB YARD MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Business flow AS is

Material arrives

Intimate to crane operator to pick up slab

Intimate to ground operator for finding location

Ground operators started searching location and after finding intimated to crane operator for release of slab

Crane operator release slab in yard location give by ground operator

Problems statementContinuous follow-ups between crane operator and ground operator.Searching location takes lot of time.Improper communication will lead to wrong performance.Manual searching will take lot of time if any slab requires process like scarfing , cutting , trimming and HSM.Number of man power for searching location will be more.More people makes more mistakes like wrong slab pickup , caster table is full , wrong slab process etc.

Business flow To be

Trigger of material arrival comes from Level2

Material display on Ground terminal and create work order

Ground terminal assign work order to Crane terminal for pickup of material

Yard manager finds free location and give location to crane terminal

Yard manager suggest location to crane terminal for release of slab at that location

DISPATCH(END)Dispatch material in truck and also push data into SAP system.

System FeaturesSlab properties come from Level 2 application so no need to create slab information.Yard management provide free location so need to find out free location for release slab.If you required specific slab then search in the system give slab information and location.Ground terminal operator assign work order to crane terminal. Now system suggest path and location of that slab.Not more man power required.Sync with ground and crane operator reduce.
