BL reported that Steel Authority of India Ltd’s Durgapur Steel Plant is going live with enterprise resource planning from today.
Mr V Shyamsundar MD of DSP told reporters that DSP is the second SAIL plant to implement enterprise resource planning, the first being Bhilai Steel Plant in April this year.
He said that “This is as per the decision taken by SAIL’s corporate office in 2004.”
The implementation of ERP comprising six modules cost DSP INR 35 crore and took 15 months. Hewlett Packard was the implementation partner who covered key functions such as production, planning and control, quality management, materials management, plant management and sales and distribution and finance and control.
A next-generation data centre of world standard, spread over 3,000 square feet, complete with servers and storage devices supplied by Sun Microsystems has been set up by TATA Consultancy Services in collaboration with Emerson and Honeywell. This centre would support the ERP system. The implementation consultant was MDI.
Mr SK Hazra Chowdhury GM automation and ERP project said that “We have implemented the best global practices, and the way things were being done would be changed. We hope to achieve a cost reduction of INR 3,000 per tonne of saleable steel due to cost optimization measures to be adopted as part of ERP.”
