Abstract
Plant capacity utilization, transport availability, production increase and process optimization are the key words for iron and steelmaking plants in the third millennium. The optimization of logistics and of the production and material flow is one of the principal tasks of existing and planned iron and steelmaking plants with a view to in-house improvement potentials. Because of the complexity of production sequences within the individual areas as well as such covering several areas it is not enough to view plant components in isolation. The steelmaker is primarily interested in delivering products of the appropriate quality to the relevant unit at the right time, meeting specific transport parameters, and in achieving this goal at minimum costs. The steelmaker is also interested in optimizing the individual process steps. For example, particular handling details taken to be solved in the fields of metallurgy and process engineering of the individual units in order to be able to increase business capacity and throughput. Improvements in tap-to-tap times, yield and process engineering are to be seen in context with transport logistics in the steelmaking plant. A network of optimum processes can only implemented by networking optimum transport routes and ladle transfers in order to maximize the throughput.
