Saldanha Steel
SALDANHA Steel, part of the
ArcelorMittal group, produces
steel for niche markets with
specific quality requirements.
The plant has an annual output
of about 1.2 Mt.
The company has embarked on
a Six Sigma continuous
improvement drive that included,
among things, the
implementation of Proficy. The
application helps eliminate
production problems by
analyzing plant data in real time
and determining the probable
causes at the Iron making plant.
At Saldanha Steel, one of the
problems was cobbling. The
Rolling Plant receives 20 ton steel
slabs from the Thin Slab Caster.
