Raw Material Incoming Inspection Process Improvement – A Case Study

Abstract:

A process improvement of incoming inspection for the materials used by a steelmaking enterprise is explained in this paper. The applied methods were described with examples considering the need of the improved process. The process complexity is explained in turn by the existence of the involved actors that need to exchange information about the inspected materials. The results obtained by the improved process justify the action started in 2012 for the incoming inspection process by a more constant quality level of the materials, reduction of the overall process duration, better materials information exchange and a convenient method for supplier surveillance and evaluation.
