TRAINING ON

PRODUCTION RECORD AND

ACCOUNTABILITY

WIRE DRAWING SECTION

Training Topics

1. Material IN & OUT accountability and reconciliation

2. Scrap and mill scale accountability, reconciliation & targets

Material IN/OUT Accountability and
Record
1. WIRE RODS
Consignments used so far include: Mcsteel, Ferlink, Hyosung etc.

a. Labelling:
Wire rods tags include details such as diameter, carbon grade, weight, heat number, date of
manufacture, country of origin and Roofing Kenya tag number.
RKL tag number is in the format “consignment code/RKL coil number”.
Example FERRO 09/123. FERRO 09: Consignment code and 123: Count number on the
respective consignment.

b. Production Records:
The RKL tag number should be captured in the production logbook to completeness. E.g.,
FERRO 09/123 in the section of wire rod number.
Material IN/OUT Accountability and Record Cont`d
2. DRAWN WIRE RECORDING AND TAGGING

a. Drawn Wire Weight

All drawn wire coils MUST be physically weighed at the scale and actual weight indicated
on sticker.

b. Drawn Wire Coil Number

Format is as below:
230511/FERRO9/A/001
23 – year, 05 – Month, 11 – date, Ferro9 – Consignment, A – Shift, 001 – Coil count

c. Production records
In the production log, Complete coil number and Actual weight should be captured as
discussed.
 Material IN/OUT Accountability and Record Cont`d
3. PRODUCTION LOSSES
These include:
a. Wire Scrap
This is in-form of: Wire rod coil packaging material and online generated wire scrap.
Accountability:
Coil packaging and online scrap should be bundled wire rod coil wise and weighed at the
platform scale. This weight should be entered as scrap weight for the respective wire rod coil
entry in the production log.
b. Mill scale
Mill scale generation MUST be captured coil wise in the production logbook.
Formulae:
Mill Scale Weight = Wire Rod Coil weight (tag weight) - Drawn Wire (Actual weight) – Wire
Scrap (Actual weight)
Material IN/OUT Accountability and Record Cont`d
4. LOSS LIMITS

Wire Scrap % = Wire Scrap Weight/Wire Rod Coil weight x 100 %

Mill Scale % = Mill Scale Weight/Wire Rod Coil weight x 100 %
