A STEELY GRIP

Think steel plants and what comes to mind are massive structures, heavy

machinery, heat, fumes, sound and, of course, piles of steel. Steel plants also

generate voluminous data throughout the value chain-from raw material

procurement, inventory and regulations to safety measures and more. While

they have analytics integrated into the systems, most steel plants fail to leverage

the full potential of the Goliath-like power advanced analytics offers.

Tata Steel, a leading global steel producer, wanted to use advanced analytics to

manage their plant operations in Jamshedpur, Jharkhand, more smoothly and

efficiently. They partnered with Accenture to make a significant cultural shift

toward data-driven capabilities, build a strong analytics talent pool and establish

a comprehensive analytics center of excellence (CoE) to achieve superior

business outcomes and improved efficiencies.

UNLOCKING

THE VALUE OF DATA

Tata Steel is a subsidiary of the Indian multinational conglomerate holding

company, Tata Sons. The steelmaker has a commercial presence in 50

countries and produces approximately 13 million metric tons of crude steel

per annum across its India operations.

The Jamshedpur plant generates a substantial amount of data from their various

processes across the enterprise, such as procurement, inventory, operations

and maintenance (from mining to rolling), supply chain, payroll, sales and

marketing, government regulations and more. To crunch these large data sets

and derive meaningful insights, the plant was applying conventional methods

using legacy system architecture, a traditional mindset and a deep-rooted

improvement culture. These traditional methods had limitations, but these could

be overcome by using advanced analytics to take a quantum leap toward

efficient business operations, mitigate data-related risks and gain a competitive

edge.
