Case 9 Eastern Waves, Inc. Summary Mr. Patton, vice-president of purchasing for Code C, Inc., is concerned about a price increase from a Malaysian supplier. Last summer Code C was celebrating a 60 percent cost reduction based on replacing their major specialty steel supplier with Eastern Waves, in Kuantan, Malaysia. Eastern Waves is a small steel manufacturing company in Malaysia. It has several plants in Malaysia and China and produces various downstream steel products such as angle steel

Steel has been part of the greatest achievements in history. It was the “iron horse” and steel rails that helped carve a nation out of the frontier. Steel is the backbone of bridges, the skeleton of skyscrapers and the framework of automobiles. Now in the 21st century, it is still revolutionizing the way we live

Nucor Corporation got its start in the 1950’s making nuclear instruments as well as electronic products. It struggled for many years and by 1964 was facing bankruptcy. Around the mid 1960’s it was decided that it was best for the company to exit its current market and focus on its profitable Vulcraft subsidiary steel joint business. In 1968, management then made the decision to integrate backward into steelmaking. In 2012, Nucor was the largest manufacturer of steel and steel products in North America

METAMORPHOSIS OF TATA STEEL -THE CHALLENGES OF CHANGE MANAGEMENT "There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things." — Niccolo Machiavelli The Prince (1532) "In times of rapid change, experience could be your worst enemy." — J. Paul Getty INTRODUCTION 1. Tata Steel is the largest steel company of the country and at present stands as the 10th largest steel

Nucor at a Crossroads On December 7, 1986, F. Kenneth Iverson, chairman and chief executive officer (CEO) of Nucor Corporation, awaited a delegation from SMS . Iverson had to decide whether to commit Nucor to a new steel mill that would commercialize thin-slab casting technology developed by SMS. Preliminary estimates indicated that the mill would cost $280, and that start-up expenses and working capital of $30 million each would push the total cost to $340 million. Successful commercialization

“I have a dream’, the words of Martin Luther King jr rang out over the crowd, ‘that one day my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their characters.” King continued on to deliver one of the most profound speeches of the 1960s, creating a movement that swept the nation. He was one of many people who understood the power of dreams and the potential they had if brought about. I believe that dreams have the

steelmaking and electric arc furnace. Steel manufacturing sites, sometimes-called integrated sites, use blast furnace to refine iron ore into steel. The most basic process applied by most steel manufacturing companies if the Basic Oxygen Furnace to change iron into steel. At the site of production, liquid iron flows into the BOF section where pure oxygen is blown into the iron at very high speed. The oxygen comes in through a lance put at the entrance of the BOF. This oxygen serves to eliminate carbon

Recycling is a process where waste materials are transformed into new products to prevent waste of potentially useful materials, reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, reduce energy usage, reduce air pollution (from incineration) and water pollution (from landfilling) by reducing the need for "conventional" waste disposal, and lower greenhouse gas emissions as compared to plastic production. Steel is the most important material in construction simply because it always contains recycled

braced metal has been around. As we come into the modern age of mining and metal production we can find that there have been difficulties in the way of our resources are beginning to run low, mining is dangerous, we may not have enough fuel to smelt iron in the next century, and abrasive water cutters are not innovating since their introduction. In the recent wake of these events an unlikely source has been uncovered to help aid these problems and that source is the math and physics of pokemon. Pokemon

consumables employed in steel production are iron ore, coal, scrap metal and electrical energy. The importance of each of these consumables depends upon the technological processes adopted at each mill. In a classic integrated mill, coal and iron ore are the main consumables. In semi-integrated mills, scrap iron is the mainstay. An integrated mill comprises four basic operations – reduction, refining, solidification, and rolling – to convert iron ore into semi-finished or finished (rolled)
