About this Presentation
Tata Astrum Super as a branded Product was launched by Tata Steel in March 2019 to address the unaddressed Hot Rolled (HR) retail market. Tata Astrum Super was faced with two challenges in the retail channel. These were 1) the availability of HR sheets 2) Availability of complete basket of SKUs. The average monthly dispatch in FY-20 from Steel Processing Centre called PSPL was at a level of 2.5 kilotons per month (KTPM). PSPL was the only dedicated Steel processing center for Astrum Super processing. In FY21 total market demand of Astrum Super was projected to exit at a level of 10 KTPM. The 5 Focusing Steps approach was followed to identify, exploit, subordinate and elevate the constraint in order to meet the market demand of 10 KTPM in FY21.
