About this Presentation
Coke (used as fuel in Blast furnace) is produced in Coke Oven Batteries which consist of alternately arranged heating walls and Ovens. For efficient process, optimal heat distribution over the entire heating wall is essential which necessitates the measurement of temperature. It is done manually in 3 shifts by 3 persons daily, directly from the oven top by opening the flue caps to measure temperatures with the help of a hand-held pyrometer in harsh environment. Given that steel industry is labor intensive, manpower productivity has been at the forefront in all policy making and Tata steel is making concerted efforts in this direction. Present case explains the application of TOC in achieving the objective of improving manpower productivity at Coke Ovens. As surfaced in Core conflict cloud, it is evident that deploying more manpower provides the advantage of frequent update of data while increasing the risk involved in safety. Therefore, any underlying assumptions which give rise to the conflict should be addressed to derive suitable injections. The conflict of deployment of manpower was resolved by identifying a new win-win solution. The Innovative injection has a huge potential (patent filed) and has a scope of wide implementation across industries. Video length: . PDF: slides.
