Second Visit - Huntsman Plant considerations
Highlights
13 September, 2004
Reasons of success
• Normal, traditional manufacturing of pre-stressed concrete construction elements.
• This is important, since the production in former Soviet Union was not conforming to the simplest standards.
• Remember the Earthquake in Gumri and Spitak.
Reasons of success
• The technology of the pre-stressed concrete.
• Introducing the roof tiles.
Reasons of success
• Correct management.
• Correct salary policy.
• This is very important since the production in former Soviet Union was not securing safety even in terms of construction.
Plant Specifics
• Huge capacity
• Local resourses
• Rather big inventory
• One-month production cycle.
Plant Specifics
• Inventory. This gives opportunities for optimization of raw material order quantity.
Economic Order Quantity - EOQ• Q – quantity to order• D – demand, or rate of use• P – period, P = Q/D, e.g. in days• h – holding cost per unit for the period P• H – total holding cost for P,
H = h·(Q/2) ·P• C – ordering effort cost• I – inventory cost, I(Q) = H(Q) + C(Q)
I(Q) = h·Q/2 ·P + C
Iday = h·Q/2 + C/P
Iday = h·Q/2 + C·D/Q
EOQ, Iday(Q) = h·Q/2 + C·D/Q
EOQ = 2CD/h
Plant Specifics
• Different aspects of transportation…
• Cutting the slabs (panels).
Plant Specifics – New productions
• The idea of profitability of new productions is not certain, especially when there are no concrete suggestions.
• As in the case of the bottle production in the YBC, need for more investigation in this issue.
Research
• Plant has a laboratory, where the new types of concrete are developed.
• However, there is a need for:• More technological research to use typical
Armenian raw materials e.g. perlytes for lighter better production that will have e.g. better heat insulating characteristics;
• Marketing! The bottleneck is in the market!
Infrastructure• What does this plant add to Armenian
infrastructure?
• Positive example of success in general and particularly in the area of production of construction materials.
• Experience of specialists, knowledge.
• Strict quality issues, as peoples’ lives depend on the quality of construction materials.
You have to pay attention to:
• %-age of the used capacities;
• Times,
• Yields, also:
• PLEASE LOOK AT POTENTIAL IE PROBLEMS. E.G.:
• EOQ;
• TRANSPORTATION;
• SCHEDULING.
