Tata Steel Jamshedpur is an 11-mtpa integrated steel plant having more than 100 EOT cranes in steel melting shops. These cranes are deployed for production, service and maintenance activity. In the last two years, substantial improvement in safety, reliability and productivity of these cranes has been achieved with the help of technology, innovations and a system-based maintenance philosophy. A previous level of 70% interruptions resulting in production losses has been reduced, and a 50% unsafe incident rate was also reduced. Several failures and unsafe incidents are eliminated. This paper presents the journey for improving the performance of EOT cranes and the way forward to achieve world-class performance of cranes.
