ESSAR AT A GLANCE
Genesis and evolution
The Essar Group was founded in 1969, by brothers Mr Shashi Ruia and Mr Ravi Ruia. The
21st century for the Group has been all about consolidating and growing the businesses
The Ruia familys origins are in Rajasthan. Sometime in the 19th century, they moved to
Mumbai and set up their own business. In 1956, Mr Nandkishore Ruia, father of Mr Shashi
Ruia and Mr Ravi Ruia, moved to Chennai, capital of the south Indian state of Tamil Nadu,
to begin independent business activities. He mentored his two sons in the intricacies of
business. When Mr Nandkishore Ruia passed away in 1969, the brothers laid the foundation
of the Group.
The Essar Group began its operations with the construction of an outer
breakwater in Chennai port. It quickly moved to capitalize on every
emerging business opportunity, becoming Indias first private company
to buy a tanker in 1976. The Group also invested in a diverse shippingfleet and oilrigs, when the Government of India opened up the shipping
and drilling businesses to private players in the 1980s.
Then, in the 1990s, Essar began its steelmaking business by setting up
Indias first sponge iron plant in Hazira, a coastal town in the western Indian state of Gujarat.
The Group went on to build a pellet plant in Visakhapatnam, and eventually a fully
integrated steel plant in Hazira.
Through the 1990s, with the gradual liberalization of the Indian economy, Essar seized
every opportunity that came its way. It diversified its shipping fleet, started oil & gas
exploration and production, laid the foundation of its oil refinery at Vadinar, Gujarat, and set
up a power plant near the steel complex in Hazira. The construction business helped theGroup build most of its business assets. Essar also entered the GSM telephony business,
establishing Indias first mobile phone service in Delhi (branded Essar Cell phone) with
Swiss PTT as the joint venture partner.
The 21st century for the Essar Group has been all about consolidating and growing the
businesses, with mergers and acquisitions, new revenue streams and strategic
geographical expansion

ESSAR ORISSA:
The Essar group plans to invest Rs.15,000 crores for its upcoming steel plant in Orissa, withworks for the plant set to start in January, a senior official said.The 6 million tonne integrated steel plant will be commissioned in 2011, B K Panda, project
director of Essar Steel Orissa Ltd (ESOL), told reporters.The project would need some 2,000 acres of land. The company is negotiating with locallandowners for acquiring some 1,100 acres of land.The Orissa government has given it 103 acres of land and the company expects some 200acres from the government, Panda said.ESOL general manager Bikram Mohanty said local people have welcomed the plant. Thestate government and the district administration are also supportive, he said.Panda said the company plans to have socio-economic development programs in the regionto help the living standard of the people. Essar also will follow the government guidelines inthe rehabilitation of the people.The company would function in an eco-friendly fashion using even low grade iron ore for
making pellets, which would be fed in blast furnaces. Currently, steel makers in the countrydump low-grade iron ore, which can cause environmental pollution.

MATERIALS MANAGEMENT
Big text Materials management is the branch of logistics that deals with the tangible
components of a supply chain. Specifically, this covers the acquisition of spare parts and
replacements, quality controlof purchasing and ordering such parts, and the standards
involved in ordering, shipping, and warehousing the said parts.
Areas of Concentration
Goals
The goal of materials management is to consolidate and efficiently handle core services. It
creates truck deliveries and service vehicle routes that reduce conflicts for vehicles and
pedestrians. Delivery sites and loading docks are more effective and reduce redundancy.
Cost is reduced when it comes to solid and hazardous waste removal, storage, and
recycling. Utility infrastructure and service equipment relocation can improve aesthetics.
Quality Assurance
A large component of materials management is ensuring that parts and materials used in
the supply chain meet minimum requirements by performing quality assurance(QA). While
most of the writing and discussion about materials management is on acquisition and
standards, much of the day to day work conducted in materials management deals with QA
issues. Parts and material are tested, both before purchase orders are placed and during
use, to ensure there are no short or long term issues that would disrupt the supply
chain. This aspect of material management is most important in heavily automatedindustries, since failure rates due to faulty parts can slow or even stop production lines,
throwing off timetables for production goals.
Standards
The other major component of materials management will be gradual movement toward
compliance. There are standards that are followed in supply chain management that are
important to a supply chain's function. For example, a supply chain that usesjust-in-timeor
lean replenishment requires clarity. in the shipping of parts and material from purchasing

agent to warehouse to place of destination. Systems reliant on vendor-managed inventories
may begin to acquire up-to-date computerized inventories and begin to explore robust
ordering systems for outlying vendors to place orders on.
Promoting Sustainability
Many business and institutional campuses have cluttered, noisy, and oftentimes inefficient
service environments. Delivery trucks compete with pedestrians, loading docks are in plain
sight, trash dumpsters sprout up, and lobbies, hallways, and stairwells are cluttered with
unplanned storage. With forethought and creativity, these systems can reduce energy use
and carbon emissions, minimize traffic congestion, streamline operational flows, andenhance aesthetics.
Improving circulation infrastructure
Redundancy can be reduced and effectiveness is increased when service points are
clustered to reduce the amount of redundancy. An effective materials management program
can also resolve island approaches to shipping, receiving, and vehicle movement.
Solutions can include creating a new central loading location, as well consolidating service
areas and docks from separate buildings into one. Developing better campus circulation
infrastructure also means re-evaluating truck delivery and service vehicle routes. Vehicletype, size, and schedules are studied to make these more compatible with surrounding
neighbourhoods. This will reduce truck traffic, creating a safer environment for pedestrians
and a more attractive environment for other uses.
Benefits
An effective materials management plan builds from and enhances an institutional master
plan by filling in the gaps and producing an environmentally responsible and efficient
outcome. An institutional campus, office, or housing complex can expect a myriad of
benefits from an effective materials management plan. For starters, there are long-term cost
savings, as consolidating, reconfiguring, and better managing a campus core infrastructure
reduces annual operating costs. An institutional campus, office, or housing complex will also
get the highest and best use out of campus real estate.
An effective materials management plan also means a more holistic approach to managing
vehicle use and emissions, solid waste, hazardous waste, recycling, and utility services. As
a result, this means a greener, more sustainable environment and a manifestation of the
many demands today for institutions to become more environmentally friendly. In fact,
26 | P a g e

thanks to such environmental advantages, creative materials management plans may
qualify for LEED Innovation in Design credits.
And finally, an effective materials management plan can improve aesthetics. Removing
unsafe and unsightly conditions, placing core services out of sight, and creating a more
pedestrian-friendly environment will improve the visual and physical sense of place for those
who live and work there.
Introduction - Why Stocks are Held
Virtually every enterprise finds it necessary to hold stocks(orinventory) of various itemsand materials. That is because it would be practically impossible to operate with only one ofeach item to be sold or used in manufacture or used in office work. A reserve or a fundorinventory of each item or material used or sold frequently is therefore maintained, sothat as items or materials are sold or used they can be replaced or replenished from thestocks held in reserve.Let us take a footwear shop as an example to make these matters quite clear to you:-
There will be a variety of different shoes, boots, etc, on display - both in the shops windowsand inside the shop itself. It would be very inconvenient and time-consuming for a shopassistant to have to remove the footwear from the display each time a customer wished totry on a pair. And, in any case, only one size and colour of each style or type of shoe, boot,
sandal, etc., is likely to be on display at any one time. Instead, when a customer expressesinterest in a particular style, a shop assistant will ask the size he or she usually wears andthe colour preferred, and will then try to find the right size and colour from the pairs offootwear held in reserve. In many cases pairs of popular items in the most commonly askedfor sizes will be kept inside the shop itself, on shelves or in cabinets. But other pairs will bekept in another room - or perhaps in more than one room - to which the shop assistant cango to find the footwear concerned; that room is the store roomorstock room. When apair of shoes or other footwear is sold from those inside the shop, it must be possible toreplace that pair quickly, whenever possible, by another pair held in the store or stock room.No business could operate efficiently if every time it sold an item or used up an item inmanufacture, it had to order a replacement from the supplier or manufacturer! Of course,from time to time, items can run out of stockbut, as you will learn during this Program,
efficient stock control will reduce or eliminate such happenings, and ensure thatreplacements are received in good time, and are available when required to replace thoseitems sold or used
Why Stores are needed
In some countries the word store is used to refer to a retail outlet - such as a generalstore or a department store - from which goods are sold, mainly to individuals, who arecommonly called consumers. However, in this Program on Stores Management & Stock(Inventory) Control, we define a Store (with a capital S) as an area set aside into which allthe items and materials required for production and/or for sale/distribution are received
27 | P a g e
-
8/8/2019 33128132 Materials Management in Essar Steel
28/59
where they are housed for safekeeping, and from which theywill be issued as required inonly a tiny minority of cases are sales made directly from Stores, and even in such casesthose sales are merely a subsidiary activity, and are not the primary functions of theStores, as given in our definition. The various items and materials received into, housed inand issued from Stores are commonly referred to collectively as being stock orinventory, hence the use of the term stock control.
THE TERM STORES, STOREHOUSE, WAREHOUSE ETC REFER TO THE PHYSICALPLACE BE IT A BUILDING OR A ROOM ETC. WHERE MATERIALS OF ALL VARIETYARE KEPT.
THE FUNCTION OF STORES IS TO RECEIVE, STORE AND ISSUE MATERIALS.
STORES ARE NORMALLY DIVIDED INTO VARIOUS SECTIONS SUCH AS -
RECEIVING SECTION
TOOL STORES
GENERAL STORES
RAW MATERIALS STORES
FINISHED PARTS STORES ETC.
STORES PLAYS A VITAL ROLE IN THE OPERATIONS OF A COMPANY
STORES NETWORKS ARE INCREDIBLY COMPLEX AND THEREIN LIES THEOPPORTUNITY OF IMPROVEMENT
At this stage, the following serve as a few examples to introduce the needfor Stores to us:-
Retail shops such as the footwear shop (or store), need Stores to house reserves of
goods for sale to customers and from which to replace those sold.
Wholesale businesses (often called simply wholesalers) purchase goods in large
quantities from the producers or manufacturers of them, so they need Stores in
which to hold the goods until they are required for supply in smaller quantities to
retailers.
A manufacturing concern, for example a steel industry, must hold stocks of all
the items (materials and components) which are used in making the different
types of steel.
An office is likely to need stocks of printed and plain paper, envelopes, pins, clips
and other items.
Even an enterprise which provides a service, like a garage for example, must hold
stocks: of spare parts for vehicles, consumables like oil, and, of course, tools for
use by its mechanics. In many cases the Store might be quite small, perhaps no
more than a stock cupboard in a small service concern, such as an estate agency,
or a small office. Other enterprises, however, require huge Stores to hold the vast
stocks of items, of many different kinds and sizes, which they must have available
if they are to be able to run efficiently and successfully. In between the two
extremes, there is an enormous range of different enterprises with Stores of
28 | P a g e
-
8/8/2019 33128132 Materials Management in Essar Steel
29/59
different sizes. Whatever the situation, you will find that the Stores of most
enterprises fall within the definition we have given you. A Store might be a
department or section of an enterprise, and be its Stores Department; oftenthat name is shortened simply to Stores (with a final letter s). For example, a
person might work in the Stores.
StocksThe range of items and materials - stocks - which might be held in Stores is huge. Thevariety and quantity of items and materials held in the Store of a particular enterprise willdepend on its size and on its range of activities. Broadly speaking, the various activities ofdifferent enterprises can be divided according to the three main groups of enterprises:-
What is involved in Storekeeping:-
The term storekeepingcovers the actual handling of the items or materials received into,held in and issued from the Store. The work involves:
receiving items and materials, including the inspection of them
storing the various stock items in the most appropriate fashion, binning and/or
racking them by the best methods, and placing them in such a way that any item
or material in the Store can be located quickly and easily when it is required;
ensuring the safety of all items and materials whilst in the Store - that is,
protecting them from pilfering, theft, damage and deterioration; Ensuring, whennecessary, that items issued from the Store are so packed that they will not be
damaged or caused to deteriorate whilst in transit to their destinations.
What is Involved in Stock Control(also known as Inventory Control)
What we refer to as stock control comprises mainly the clerical and administrativefunctions of stores work. It involves:
ensuring that the right types and qualities of items needed for production, sale
and distribution, are always available when required;
ensuring that stock is issued in the correct sequence, that is, first in first out,so that older stock is not allowed to deteriorate by being kept too long in the
Store, for instance because it has been hidden from view by more recently
received stock;
maintaining records showing the movement of items into and out of the Store,
controlling and monitoring those movements and maintaining full records of the
items in the Store;
29 | P a g e
-
8/8/2019 33128132 Materials Management in Essar Steel
30/59
ensuring that the correct stock levels of the various items are set and are
maintained, that orders and reorders are made (or requested to be made) in good
time, and that what is ordered is received;checking, counting or otherwise measuring stock to ensure that records are
accurate and that no losses are occurring due to pilfering, theft, damage or poor
storage;
pricing and valuing the items in the Store
The Importance of Efficient Stores ManagementIn an enterprise with a small quantity of stock, one person might be placed in charge of it, ifthe owner/manager does not look after it himself. Where the volume of stock is too large tobe handled on a part-time basis, one or more storekeepers will be required. Enterprises
with large quantities of stock must employ trained stores personnel(storekeepers, clerks,etc) under the control of a Stores Manager(who might go by the designation of Head orChief Storekeeper, Stock Controller, stores administrator).It is impossible to state at what stage a Stores Manager will be appointed by a particularenterprise, as circumstances and sizes vary so greatly. But whatever its size and thevolume of its stocks, the success of the enterprise can depend to a large extent on theefficient management of its Store and stocks.
Let us now examine why that is so.
All the possessions of an enterprise - that is, what it owns - are called its assets.
Frequently the value of the stocks of goods and/or materials held in its Store is as
great as - if not greater than - the total value of all its other possessions - e.g.
land and/or buildings, plant, machinery, motor vehicles, equipment, etc., and, of
course, money and investments - added together!
The items and/or materials in the Store cost money; if, through bad Stores
Management, there are too many held in the Store or if the wrong items or
materials are being held, money will be tied up - money which might be
required to buy other, needed items and/or materials or to pay the many expenses
involved in running the enterprise.Conversely, ifpoor stores management has led to shortages of needed items and
materials, there will be hold-ups and interruptions in production, or losses of
production and/or losses of sales to customers and, indeed, losses of the
customers themselves, and losses of profits which can in turn lead to job losses
and - in extreme cases - to the collapse of the enterprise.
If items in the Store are lost, stolen or damaged in any way, the enterprise loses
money.
And it costs money to run the Store - on building maintenance and/or rent, on
salaries of stores personnel, on containers and equipment, on heating or cooling,

TO ACCEPT AND STORE SCRAP AND OTHER DISCARDED MATERIALS.
DEPENDING UPON THE NATURE OF BUSINESS (I.E. MANUFACTURING, TRADINGSERVICES, ETC,) ONE OR MORE OF THESE FUNCTIONS MAY GAIN PRIMACY OVER THEREST.
Basically the functions of store are as follows:-
i) Materials planning and programming of procurement and supplies.
ii) Purchasing
iii) Inventory control
iv) Store keeping and warehousing
v) Materials handling and transportation
vi) Codification and standardization
vii) Value Analysis
viii) Identification, Disposal of supplies, obsolete and scrap materials, etc.
The Production Department:
As the Stores Department must ensure that all items, materials and tools, as well as spareparts for machinery, are always available for continuous, uninterrupted production, itrequires adequate warning about expected future needs, in terms of types, quantities,

An SOP is a written document or instruction detailing all steps and activities of a process or
procedure. These should be carried out without any deviation or modification to guarantee
the expected outcome. Any modification or deviation from a given SOP should be
thoroughly investigated and outcomes of the investigation documented according to the
internal deviation procedure.
All quality impacting processes and procedures should be laid out in Standard Operating
Procedures (SOPs). These SOPs should form the basis for the routine training program of
each employee. SOPs should be regularly updated to assure compliance to the regulatory
requirements and the working practice. A minimum review schedule of 3 years is
recommended Changes of SOPs are in general triggered by process or procedural
changes / adjustments. The internal site change-control procedure should manage these
changes.

Part of the activity list of such changes should be to update the related SOP. SOPs should
be in place for all quality systems plus the specific operational activities on site. The
structure of an SOP System and the total amount of individual SOPs should be carefully
taken into consideration too many SOPs could lead to a collapse of the SOP System.
System SOPs should not be mixed up to keep systems and interaction between quality
systems easy.

occupational, psychological, educational or other types or consequences of failure,
damage, error, accidents, harm or any other event which could be considered non-
desirable. This can take the form of being protected from the event or from exposureto something that causes health or economical losses. It can include protection of
people or of possessions.
Safety measures
Safety measures are activities and precautions taken to improve safety, i.e. reduce risk
related to human health. Common safety measures include:
Root cause analysis to identify causes of a system failure and correct deficiencies.
Visual examination for dangerous situations such as emergency exits blocked
because they are being used as storage areas.
Visual examination for flaws such as cracks, peeling, loose connections.
Chemical analysis
X-ray analysis to see inside a sealed object such as a weld, a cement wall or an
airplane outer skin.
Destructive testing of samples
Stress testing subjects a person or product to stresses in excess of those the person or
product is designed to handle, to determining the "breaking point".
Safety margins/Safety factors. For instance, a product rated to never be required to
handle more than 200 pounds might be designed to fail under at least 400 pounds, a
safety factor of two. Higher numbers are used in more sensitive applications such as
medical or transit safety.
Implementation ofstandard protocols and procedures so that activities are conducted
in a known way.
Training of employees, vendors, product users
Instruction manuals explaining how to use a product or perform an activity
Instructional videos demonstrating proper use of products

Power, Telecom and Finance. Essar entered the Iron and Steel business in 1989by setting up a 1.76 million tonnes per annum facility to produce Hot BriquettedIron (HBI). This plant is the largest in the world. Essar has also set up a 2 milliontonne flat products steel plant. Simultaneously, a backward integration project inthe shape of a 3.3 million tpa iron ore pelletisation plant has been set up tomanufacture and supply high quality iron ore pellets. Essar has emerged as thelargest fully integrated manufacturer of high-quality flat products in the westernregion of India . the hub of industrial activity in the country. Essar needed a fullyintegrated IT system to manage this huge set up.
The right data at the right place
According to Anil Kastuar, C.I.O. Steel Business, Essar had a non-integratedsystem focused solely on finance. .It was not linked to Production Planning,
Materials Management or Sales & Distribution Management. This is not an erawhen decisions can be taken based on standalone solutions. They must bebased on inputs from other business areas. We needed a solution and we lookedat SAP.s R/3, which fulfilled our objective.
Integration is of the essence in aComplicated industry
To produce high-quality steel with the best ingredients, accuracy in the productmix was crucial. To enable this there was a need for an integrated and liveinformation system. Dr P Bhattacharya, Chief Operations Officer, explains: .Wedeal with complex products, sizes, 10 grades. The wrong slab in the wrong
furnace could create havoc. We needed a system to manage all this. We alsohad to track everything from raw material to production and finally its shipment.
The transportation by road of say, 250 tonnes of steel a day, is dependent on apowerful information system. Essar selected SAP.s R/3 based on the strengths ofthe system and on its success elsewhere. .Our corporate culture is driven byrespect for the best available in the market. SAP.s R/3 turned out to be the mostpowerful, proven software that could run a complicated business such as ours...SAP is able to provide solutions for a variety of industries. It is not anindustry-specific solution. It is not a hardware-specific solution. It is anenterprise-wide solution with industry specific components forbusinesses like ours.
A live system is needed to facilitate each step in production planningDr Bhattacharya explains: .It is imperative that we know, right from the time wetake orders, what our likely delivery schedule will be. All information from rawmaterial procurement to inventory of finished products should be absolutely live.We were looking for a solution that would give us all this.

.What I like about the SAP R/3 solution is that it binds every individualand every department with one objective- Efficiency. There can be noconflict of data. If there is a problem it surfaces the same day.
