Summer Internship Report 2010 CHAPTER-1 ITRODUCTIO 1.1 ABOUT THE IDUSTRY: The history of Indian copper industry goes back to 1967 with the incorporation of Hindustan Copper Ltd (HCL) and thereafter acquisition of mines from the public sector National Minerals Development Corporation (NMDC). But, the real twist in copper story took with the opening up this sector for private sector players in 1992 which saw the involvement of Indo Gulf Corporation (now a part of Hindalco Industries) and Sterlite Industries into copper smelting and refining through concentrate imports from various mining-rich countries. Copper is a special metal for industrial applications owing to its properties such as electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, ductility, malleability and rigidity. Specific applications of copper include power cables and wires, jelly filled cables, building wires, air conditioning and refrigeration tubings.

Telecom, power, construction, transportation, handicrafts,

engineering, consumer durable, defence. The Indian Copper Industry was opened for private Sector investment in 1992. Earlier the industry was dominated by Hindustan Copper Limited (HCL), a public sector undertaking. The Industry currently has just 3 major players (Sterlite, Hindalco and Hindustan Copper Ltd.). Jhagaria Copper (erstwhile SWIL Ltd.), which commissioned its 50,000 tonne plant in Gujarat is reportedly facing acute shortage of raw material. The company approximately two years before initiated the commercial production on its plant equipped with the technology to use copper concentrates and scrap as raw materials. But, of late companied denied procuring scrap from domestic traders and imports remained scary for various reasons. Other players include around 1000 of SSI units but a majority of them closed down due to unviability. These units are primarily involved in converting scrap into ingots. While HCL is the only integrated producer, which mines and refines copper, Hindalco Industries and Sterlite Industries are secondary producers, who process both indigenous and imported copper concentrate to produce end products like copper bars, rods and wires. The fully de-mutualised copper producer is largely managed mainly by bankers. tonnes towards the end of the current fiscal year to go up to 947500 tonnes as against the demand of roughly 5 lakhs tonnes. The demand supply imbalance is unlikely to deteriorate further, as the ongoing boost in the country's infrastructure is expected to appreciate the

But it can only threatening call from rising prices which hit the unaffordable level during the last two years. While Japan, India and Philippines a surplus position, deficit regions comprise China, Taiwan, South Korea, Malaysia, Thailand and parts of Middle East. About 50 per cent of the domestic copper production is routed through secondary market through scrap imports. The domestic generation of copper is negligible as the system is not fully organized to recover copper scrap which is presently either burnt or dumped underground without realizing the resale Production growing at a CAGR of 15% 800 700 600 500 400 300 200 100 0 2004

1.2 SHORTAGE OF RAW MATERIAL: Indian primary and secondary copper industry has been facing tremendous raw material shortage for which the smelters have been importing concentrates from the major mining countries like Peru, Chile, Canada etc and secondary producers have been surviving on low scrap imports. But, today, global industry is facing raw material supply deficit which is likely to persist until 2009. Increase in smelting capacity mainly in India and China and mines facing the problem of low grade, shortages of equipment and manpower have kept the concentrate market in deficit and have put further pressure on TcRc. During the first half of 2007, TcRc declined by almost 15%. The concentrate would continue to be short supply upto 2009; this may affect the TcRc, adversely, in the Spot Market, Debu Bhattacharya, MD, Hindalco Industries believes. Custom smelters are likely to remain under pressure for until new mines come on stream. The TcRc charges have been declining during the past few months due to constraints in concentrate availability. The TcRc charges have in fact declined from 5.64 c/ lb at the beginning of the financial year FY2004 to 2.56 c/ lb in Q4 FY2004, a drop of about 55% due to aggressive buying by Asian Smelters. Towards the end of the first quarter of the current fiscal the TcRc rate further declined to 2.00 c/lb Copper and copper products can be imported at zero duty from Sri Lanka under the Free

16

IMPROVIG THE OPERATIOAL EFFICIECY AD PROFITABILITY OF EXPORT ORIETED UIT

Summer Internship Report 2010 Trade Agreement (FTA) with that country. Duties on copper and copper products have been progressively reduced – for example, customs duty has been reduced from 35 per cent in 2001 to 10 per cent in 2006. On the production front, the last few years have seen significant additions in capacities in India and accordingly the production has increased at a CAGR of 14.8% during the last three years. The domestic consumption, on the other earmarked for exports. Strong demand for copper has resulted in steady rise in copper prices, which had earlier exhibited World demand growth forecast is 4.9 % for 2007 and 4.2% 2008. Per capita during 200708. India’s strong economic growth and key priority for the power sector which is major consumer of copper will support high demand and price in the near term. The Indian copper industry comprises 3% on the world copper map. Of late, India turned into a net exporter of copper from the status of net importer on account of rise in production by three companies for its applications in building, cabling for power and telecommunications, automobiles etc. Two major states owned telecommunications service providers – BSNL and MTNL consume 10% of the country’s copper production. Growth in the building construction and automobile sector is In India the users segment such as winding wire, power cables, transformers industry and continued increased export of downstream products supporting higher demand. However, the industry is greatly disadvantaged as non-value added imports from Sri Lanka under the free trade agreement (FTA) continue to adversely impact the domestic sales. But, the efforts initiated by the Sri Lankan government to curb imports, less value addition and re-exports to India illegally brought positive results. Now, it’s a wakeup call for the government of India to restrict unwanted imports and exports of raw material and finished products from the FTA countries. Under, FTA the re-exports of any goods was permitted with minimum 35% of value addition which was not practiced by the miscreants traders. But, today, the industry is complete safe as all units have already come back to India with their plants. Only three projects still remain in Sri Lanka with a minute production capacity of 200-250 tonnes per annum.

2.5 SWOT Analysis STREGHTS Cost of production stands at 1.8 cents/lb due to better by-product realizations and is in the lowest quartile i.e. 7th and 8th position in terms of global cost of production. Hence, the prices of copper company have a competitive edge despite declining TcRc as it continues to generate positive cash flows.

WEAKESS No significant backward linkages in terms of copper mines, makes the company dependent on global miners and it will not benefit from any upturn in LME

OPPORTUITIES THREATS Increasing demand in the domestic market Non- availability of copper concentrate would could provide benefits in terms of savings on put pressure on TcRc rates and impact freight cost since billing is based on the landed operating margins cost of metal prices. Exports currently account for 56% of its copper sales volume

Summer Internship Report 2010 CHAPTER-3 OBJECTIVE, SCOPE AD METHODOLOGY 3.1 OBJECTIVE: To increase the operational efficiency and profitability of the Export Oriented Unit (EOU) at Sterlite Industries India Limited, Tuticorin (TN). To accomplish this objective two major projects undertaken are: 1. Time efficiency and factors influencing time efficiency in refinery unit. 2. Forklift motion study and utilization in EOU. 3.2 SCOPE OF THE PROJECTS: The scope of project regarding time efficiency is to analyse the time used for the copper production in the refinery unit and to find the factors which contribute to the inefficiency of the process. Project regarding the motion study of the Forklifts in the EOU will help to understand the utilization level of the forklifts used and ways to improve the utilization level. 3.3 METHODOLOGY: For the first project related to Time Efficiency, the methodology adopted is to collect data from the Distributed Control System and the employees on the shop floor. The data collected is then analyzed using Pareto analysis and the vital few causes that lead to the 80% of the delay in time utilization is listed out. For the second project related to Forklifts, the methodology adopted is to collect the primary data by observing the forklifts motion throughout the EOU premises and the time taken by each forklift to perform a particular activity. Various combinations of activities for each forklift are tried and then suggestions are provided to improve the utilization of each forklift. 3.4 LIMITATIOS OF THE PROJECT: Some of the information which comes under the confidentiality barriers are not included in this report. Due to the limitation of the time available for the internship detailed research on the technical aspects of the machinery has not been covered in this report.

Summer Internship Report 2010 4.2.1 CHAGE OVER Change over is referred to as the changing of the entire spent anode sets and cathode sets washing of cells, cleaning of bus bars and insulators and changing of electrolyte for starting a fresh chemical refinery process with the new set of copper anodes Change over involves cutting the power supply off from the bank which stops the electrolysis process and reduces the production period for copper cathodes. Thus this leads to the reduction in time efficiency. The major factors that influence the time required for change over are: 4.2.1.1 CELLHOUSE PREPARATIO: In cellhouse preparation for the change over there are many activities that are to be performed so as to complete the change over process: 1. Set up tools for alignment and water hose and necessary tools are brought near the bank which is to go through the changeover process. 2. Bank is locked out of the power supply and initially two cells are decanted of electrolyte. 3. Cathode plates of the cell are taken to CSM for stripping and then the scrap anodes are taken to the ASWM for washing. 4. Cells are washed thoroughly with water to remove slime. 5. Bus bar is cleaned and the insulators are cleaned and fixed. 6. Electrolyte is filled in the cells. 7. Fresh anodes are placed in the cells and aligned. 8. Fresh SS plates are placed in the cells as cathodes and aligned. 9. This process is carried out for all the cells in the bank. 10. The power is logged on to start the electrolysis process. In cell house preparation, the common delays that occur are the delay in slime washing. This delay occurs because sometimes the scrap anode falls inside the cell and it is to be removed manually. Even the draining away of the slime takes time. Also labourer’s inexperience plays a major role in cellhouse preparation. Cleaning and fixing of insulators with acid plays a part in the delay. Broken Insulators are replaced and aligned and alignment of the cathode and anode also causes delay in the changeover process. Delay in the anode and cathode delivery to the cellhouse also causes delay n the changeover process. This delay can occur due to many reasons related to the ASWM, CSM, APM and cranes which will be discussed further in the report.

Summer Internship Report 2010 4.2.1.2 CATHODE STRIPPIG MACHIE (CSM): 4.2.1.2.1 Purpose: To strip copper from mother blanks and wash copper cathodes. 4.2.1.2.2 Operating Procedure of CSM: Crane places the set cathode plates on the loading beam. Loading wagon picks up a set of plates and transfers into the wash conveyor. The wash conveyor transports the plates through the wash chamber, where acid solution and impurities are washed off the cathode surface. The water temperature is kept high enough to ensure sufficient washing of cathodes. The wash water returned to circulation tanks. After completed washing deposited plates moves up to the end of the conveyor Where transfer device-1 transfers the plate to transverse conveyor. Standing on the transverse conveyor the plate moves sideways to the flexing device. The flexing device consists of two hydraulic cylinders, located, one on each side of the transverse conveyor. These cylinders will one at a time flex the plate sideways & thereby open up the top portion of the deposited copper on the stainless steel plates. After completed flexing operation, the plates continue into the chiselling station. The chisels are moved in to the openings obtained in the flexing operations between the copper plate and the mother blank. This force the copper plates to fall outward app 15 degrees where the plates are gripped by grippers mounted in the cathode downender. The down ender tilts the cathode further 75 degrees and bring into the horizontal position. Meanwhile the empty mother blanks moves sideways on the transverse conveyor to the empty station where it can be inspected for any defect init. After this station it reaches transfer device-2 which transfers the mother blanks on to the discharge conveyor. There after unloading wagon picks up the half load & transports to the unloading beams. After down ender has tilted cathodes into the horizontal position the cathodes are dropped on cathode conveyor. Again down ender returns to vertical position ready to down end new cathodes. The cathode conveyor transports the cathodes towards the cathode stacker, during this transport the cathode plate passes through sampling station &corrugating press. The corrugating press will press a pattern in the cathodes. The sampling press punches out button shaped sample for testing.

Summer Internship Report 2010 4.2.1.3 AODE PREPARATIO MACHIE (APM):

4.2.1.3.1 Operating Procedure of APM: To attain verticality of the anode in the cell and smooth contact of the anodes with bus bar The anodes to be prepared are transported by the forklift to the receiving station of APM. The anodes are centred on the receiving station by the aligning press and they are moved to the transfer device number (TD1) by the receiving conveyor. The TD1 lifts the anodes one by one from the receiving conveyor to lug press. On the lug press, the lugs of the anodes are pressed horizontally. From the lug press, the TD1 lifts the anodes to the weighing unit. On the weighing unit the anodes are weighed and sorted as rejected and accepted anodes. From the weighing unit, the TD1 lifts the anodes to the beginning of the traverse conveyor. The traverse conveyor moves the anode through the body press and accepted anode is pressed vertically. From the end of the traverse conveyor rejected anodes are lifted to the reject conveyor by the reject feeder. The reject feeder moves the rejected anodes to the reject removing station. From the end of traverse conveyor the accepted anodes are lifted to the milling conveyor by TD2. The milling conveyor moves the anodes through milling unit to the lifting conveyor. In the milling conveyor the lugs of the anodes are milled. The lifting conveyor moves the anodes from the milling conveyor to the spacing conveyor. The spacing conveyor and the spacing devices space the anodes in the spacing conveyor, then the transferring wagon lifts 55 anodes at the time and moves them to the distribution beams. From the beam the anodes are lifted by the over head cranes.

4.2.1.4 AODE SCRAP WASHIG MACHIE (ASWM): 4.2.1.4.1 Operating Procedure of ASWM: Before starting the machine, oil in power packs is to be checked. Check wash water temperature, whether wash pump valves are opened or not. Anode scraps are placed on the loading beam by crane. Wagon lifts the set and places it on the receiving conveyor. From the receiving conveyor scrap is transferred to the wash conveyor by a transfer device. Wash conveyor moves through wash chamber that consist two pipelines for washing, one on the topside and one at the bottom side. Each line is having seven nozzles through which water is sprayed on the scrap so that slime adhering to the scrap gets washed and goes to the tank. In the wash conveyor scrap moves horizontally and after washing it passes through dryer so as to wipe water from the scrap. From the wash chamber scrap is moved by stacker and stacks it on the stacking table. The stacking table rotates 900 anti clock wise after every two stack so as to make uniform bundle. Each stack consists of two scraps. After completing the number of stack set in stack selector switch the table goes down. A set of fork comes in and takes away the bundle of scraps from the table to the stack conveyor. From the stack conveyor forklift unload the bundle and keep it scrap yard. The scraps are weighed for individual banks to find out scrap % for the particular bank. Wash water temperature is maintained at 800C for effective washing. Temperature is maintained with help of steam. After one bank washing is over wash water with slime sent to storage tank and tank

Summer Internship Report 2010 4.2.1.5 CRAES WMI CRAES LTD., one of the leading manufacturers of Cranes in India, has been pioneers in the manufacture of Material Handling Equipment in the Country. Today WMI`s name is synonymous with heavy lifting. WMI’s equipment can be found in all parts of the Country, helping others get their jobs done faster and easier. An array of WMI cranes have been developed, each crane a creative solution to special handling problem. These cranes are extensively used for handling materials in machine shops, structural shops, chemical plants, fertilizer plants, cement factories, paper plants, stock yards, Dams, and construction sites. All WMI cranes are engineered and built to meet the requirements of all the users. Thus tailormade for the job, these units handle the loads with utmost ease of maintenance efficiency and economy. 4.2.1.5.1 E. O. T. CRAES These cranes move on the gantry rail fixed to gantry girder. In this crane 3 common motions are incorporated - hoist, cross travel and long travel. In addition to these common motions some time depending on duty, Aux. Hoist is incorporated. Hoist and C. T. Machineries are fitted on common frame called crab which moves on crane girders. In refinery, there are two EOT cranes. These cranes play major role in the overall functioning of the refinery whether it be cellhouse, CSM, APM, or ASWM. Even in regular activities other than processes the crane plays a significant role in the refinery. Any delay caused by the crane causes a major delay in all the machineries and the processes.

Summer Internship Report 2010 4.2.1.6 OPERATOR SKILLS AD EXPERIECE: operators handling the various machines mentioned above are also reponsible for the time efficiency. The higher the skill and experience of the operator the smoother the various activities required to carry out the process takes place. Crane operators and ASWM and CSM operators should be highly efficient and with enough knowledge to understand the critical areas where the usual delay occurs and try to work out ways to tackle them. Regular training and knowledge sharing sessions are essential for them. 4.2.1.7 FORKLIFT AVAILABILITY: Forlifts availability to load the APM machine, to remove the rejected anodes, to shift the spent anodes from ASWM, to bring the fresh anode from the despatch yard, to carry the cathode plates from CSM to the Warehouse/front yard is important for the time efficiency. Due to the non availability of the forklifts the processes linked with it are also affected and this later affects the time efficiency. Proper planning is required for the proper utilization of the forklifts and scheduling the work. This will help in availability of the forklifts for the major activities essential and important to time effieciency. 4.2.1.8 PREVETIVE MAITEACE:

For the effective functioning of all the

machinary, maintenanace is a very essential aspect. Scheduled and preventive maintenance is necessary. Time efficiency reduces when the machines are not properly maintained and breakdown occurs. Because of lack of preventive maintenance the machines may malfunction during the process and this will lead to delay. 4.2.1.9 LABOUR AVAILABILITY AD SKILLS: labours are required to perform various activities in the cellhouse preparation and machine functioning. Unavailability of labours during the process of changeover and machine operations leads to delay and affects the time efficiency. Also the skill set possessed by the labour to do the particular job plays a critical role in the time delay. If the labour is new and inexperienced then the cleaning process of the cell house and machinery gets delayed. Willingness of the labour to work also plays a very essential role in the performance of his duties.

Summer Internship Report 2010 4.2.2 STRIPPIG Stripping is the process of removing the cathode copper plates from the SS plates which were deposited during the electrolysis process. For each bank stripping process is carried out thrice (three crop cycle). For the stripping process the machine used is CSM. For the purpose of stripping each bank in its completion of one crop cycle is logged out and plates carried to CSM. Stripping process on an average takes 4.3hrs which higher than the standard i.e. 3hrs 4mins. This delay in the stripping time iss due to the various factors influencing the process. They are: 1. CSM PERFORMANCE * 2. CRANE PERFORMANCE * 3. OPERATORS SKILL AND EXPERIENCE* 4. FORKLIFT AVAILABILITY* 5. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE* 6. LABOUR AVAILABILITY AND SKILLS* All of these factors have been discussed under the changeover. By improving the performance of each of these factors the time delay can be reduced and the stripping time can be brought close to its standard time and thus increase the time efficiency by logging the bank in the circuit and starting the copper deposition by electrolysis process. 4.2.3 RECTIFIERS In the refinery, there are four rectifiers used for the conversion of A.C to D.C for the entire cellhouse system.rectifiers used here are: One 15KA Rectifier and other 35 KA rectifier. Due to tripping of the rectifier the entire bank gets logged out and this tends to the stoppage in the production of the copper and reduces the time efficiency of the refinery unit. 4.2.4 MISCELLAEOUS There are some factors which are not in control of the refinery unit but affect the output of the unit. Some of these factors are: 1. Anode availability: as per the availability of the anodes the cells can be utilized for the production of copper. Due various reasons in the smelter, the production of anodes fluctuates and thus the availability for the refinery unit also changes. This in turn reduces the number of banks under production and the time efficiency reduces. 2. Demand for copper in the market: according to the market demand the planning for production is done by the higher management. If the requirement fo r the copper is reduced then the production of the copper is also reduced. Thus some of the banks are logged off and no production takes place thus the time efficiency of the unit reduces.

Summer Internship Report 2010 PROJECT 2: FORKLIFT MOTIO STUDY AD UTILIZATIO 4.3 ABOUT THE FORKLIFTS A forklift (also called a lift truck, a high/low, a stacker-truck, trailer loader, sideloader, fork truck, tow-motor or a fork hoist) is a powered industrial truck used to lift and transport materials. The modern forklift was developed in the 1920s by various companies

including

the transmission manufacturing

company Clark and

the

hoist

company Yale & Towne Manufacturing. The forklift has since become an indispensable piece of equipment in manufacturing and warehousing operations. The middle 19th century through the early 20th century saw the developments that led to today's modern forklifts. The Pennsylvania Railroad in 1906 introduced battery powered platform trucks for moving luggage at their Altoona, Pennsylvania train station. World War I saw the development of different types of material handling equipment in the United Kingdom by Ransoms, Sims and Jeffries of Ipswich. This was in part due to the labour shortages caused by the war. In 1917Clark in the United States began developing and using powered tractor and powered lift tractors in their factories. In 1919 the Towmotor Company and Yale & Towne Manufacturing in 1920 entered the lift truck market in the United States. Continuing development and expanded use of the forklift continued through the 1920s and 1930s. World War II, like World War I before, spurred the use of forklift trucks in the war effort. Following the war, more efficient methods for storing products in warehouses were being implemented. Warehouses needed more manoeuvrable forklift trucks that could reach greater

heights.

New

forklift

models

were

made

that

filled

this

need. In

1956 Toyota introduced its first lift truck model, the Model LA, in Japan and sold its first forklift in the United States in 1967. Forklifts are rated for loads at a specified maximum weight and a specified forward centre of gravity. This information is located on a nameplate provided by the manufacturer, and loads must not exceed these specifications. In many jurisdictions it is illegal to remove or tamper with the nameplate without the permission of the forklift manufacturer. An important aspect of forklift operation is that most have rear-wheel steering. While this increases manoeuvrability in tight cornering situations, it differs from a driver’s traditional experience with other wheeled vehicles. While steering, as there is no caster action, it is unnecessary to apply steering force to maintain a constant rate of turn. Another critical characteristic of the forklift is its instability. The forklift and load must be considered a unit with a continually varying centre of gravity with every movement of the load. A forklift must never negotiate a turn at speed with a raised load,

46

IMPROVIG THE OPERATIOAL EFFICIECY AD PROFITABILITY OF EXPORT ORIETED UIT

Summer Internship Report 2010 where centrifugal and gravitational forces may combine to cause a disastrous tip-over accident. The forklift are designed with a load limit for the forks which is decreased with fork elevation and undercutting of the load (i.e. load does not butt against the fork "L"). A loading plate for loading reference is usually located on the forklift. A forklift should not be used as a personnel lift without the fitting of specific safety equipment, such as a "cherry picker" or "cage".

FIG 4.13 4.4 FORKLIFTS I EOU: Export Oriented Unit (EOU) of Sterlite Industries India Limited has ten Forklifts on contract for its varied usage inside the premises.

4. Before loading one truck if we can supply 6 bundles of cathode to ccr then we can easily manage with the two 5ton forklifts. 5. One forklift will be used to bring the cathode from csm to yard and other will be used to supply cathode to ccr, and after supplying 6 bundles the forklift will be used to load one truck. 6. During break down of csm the csm forklift can also be used to transfer cathodes to yard/warehouse. 7. Ccr 3-ton forklift can also take some of the cathode supply to the furnace while not on other works. 8. Before the starting of the csm coils to be loaded in the truck must be sorted out in advance so as to gain time during the machine running and shifting of cathodes. 9. If two to three trucks is to be loaded one after the other then initial supply of cathode is to be provided to the ccr and then one truck is to be loaded and then the ccr forklift can be utilized to supply the cathode at regular intervals until all the trucks are loaded and also if 70-30 system is used then the 5ton forklift used in csm can be used to load the truck at a later stage.

Summer Internship Report 2010 COCLUSIO: The project regarding the time efficiency of the refinery plant has prominently highlighted with the help of Pareto analysis that CSM, ASWM, APM and CRANES play a vital role in the production of copper cathodes. And the delays which occur during their functioning are majorly caused due to various technical reasons in the machine parts and operational inefficiency. Steps should be taken to bring in control and efficient usage of machines by regular checkups and maintenance and training and knowledge sharing activities for the operators. The project regarding the forklift motion study in the EOU has clearly identified the under utilization of the forklifts and the unproductive motion that the forklifts take to perform an activity. By the implementation of the provided suggestions the utilization of the forklifts can be increased and the excess forklift can be removed and the profitability of the EOU can be increased.
