Raw Material: Our Material management department as indicated in our monthly production plan procures raw material. All the raw materials are procured from approved suppliers/manufacturers only. The major suppliers of raw material include M/S Steel Authority of India Ltd., Upper India Steel, Modern Steel, Vardhman Special Steels Ltd., Vishavkarma Steel, Mukand Steel, Ludhiana etc. All these manufacturers produce M.S. and Alloy Steel Flats, Rounds, Squares and Hexagon sections under strict quality norms as per relevant ISS/BSS/DIN/ASTM specifications and are well equipped with in-plant material test facilities for Chemical and Mechanical properties. The major lots are accompanied with manufacturer’s test certificate bearing Heat No. And colour code as per relevant specifications. These raw materials are again tested for Chemical properties in our own test lab. to verify the values of various elements given by the manufacturer of Iron and Steel. On verification of Chemical properties, an identification (Q. No.) is marked on the lot of material tested and a document is generated for the same which is transferred to ‘Job Route Card'(Annex. A). A stock register is maintained for the receipt and issue of raw materials for various items as per requirements indicated in the Job Route card as per specimen. Different grades of raw material are stacked at appropriate places earmarked for the purpose to avoid any mix up. Proper colour codification is maintained at all stages.
