Continuous Improvement

Early Success Areas

Some areas where Tata Steel’s effort at continuous improvement bore fruit include:

  • Higher usage of processed reverts at Scunthorpe and Port Talbot
  • Reduction in hot metal manganese at Port Talbot
  • Bottom stirring at IJmuiden leading to improved converter life and yield
  • Higher usage of Low Cost Carbon Source (LCCS) in the blend at IJmuiden, Port Talbot and Scunthorpe
  • Vessel life improvement at Jamshedpur and Scunthorpe
  • Blast Furnace and Coke Ovens operating process for lower production levels developed and successfully implemented in Tata Steel European operations without compromising equipment health and safety
