Abstract

The Morgan Roll Inventory Managernent Systern software application (MRIMS) has been designed to aid in the rnanagernent of infomation related to rolls and roll sets in a rod or bar mill. Experience with implernentation of this systern in numerous mills has demonstrated its usefulness in the entire roll management process - including ordering and purchasing rolls, managing roll storage, roll groove assignrnents, and roll use and grinding history. The MRIMS - Pulpit View software application, available as an add-on to the main MRIMS prograrn, gives the mill operators complete control over the roll and pass changes as well as access to all inforrnation necessary to manage the changes efficiently. Use of both of these applications over the past several years has provided many benefits to Roll Shops, including improved communication, more accurate completion of tasks, more efficient pre-planning of roll and pass changes, decreased waste of roll life and better time utilization in the shop.
