The shop complex of the Rourkela Steel Plant (RSP) achieved revenue maximisation through a number of innovative and enterprising jobs being carried out by its employees.
The Foundry Department regularly develops and supplies slag ladle cupsfor Bhilai Steel Plant (BSP) and Durgapur Steel Plant (DSP). In the year 2013-14, the department received orders for supplying six slag ladle cups from the BSP and four slag ladle cups from the DSP. The unit has already developed two slag cups for the BSP and three slag cups for the DSP. The RSP is earning revenue worth Rs 24 lakh for each slag cup, while the DSP Rs 22 lakh for each slag cup of the BSP.
The unit has been getting the support of the structural and fabrication shop, repair, steel melting shops and the field machinery maintenance departments. Apart from the slag ladle cups, the Foundry Department is regularly producing castings for blast furnace (5), hammer head and liner for OBBP, star breaker and liner for sinter plant complex and other ferrous and non ferrous castings as per requirement of the plant. All these enterprising helped the plant reduce the cash outflow and accrue savings to the tune of approximately Rs 20 crore per annum.
