Job Purpose Description

Job Context & Major Challenges

The Sheet rolling at Belur (very near to Kolkata) was the first plant of Indal to be set up way back in 1943. The initial capacity of the plant was 2500 tons per annum. Over the time, there has been numerous expansion and modernisation and the present capacity of the plant is about 52000 tons per annum.

Since the plant is very old, the equipment and the technology are quite outdated except for certain pockets of excellence like SMS Cold Rolling mill. The plant has the usual baggage for outdated practices. But over the last three years there has been significant restructuring and the attitude of the workmen and practices have undergone a sea- change,

The strategic direction of the Hindalco Sheet Business is shifting towards more value added as Hindalco is priced out of the common segments. As a result, the value added share for the plant output has seen significant increases. The value added output do not come cheap but calls for substantial changes in workmanship and customer orientation. The plant has been able to meet the challenges.

Along with the modernisation in plant and equipment, the business processes in the plant have also been modernised. An ERP system based on Oracle and Orafin has been successfully implemented in the plant.
