Case Study - OneSteel Sees Opportunity in Condition Based Asset Management

OneSteel sees opportunity in Condition Based Asset Management

OneSteel is the largest manufacturer of steel long products and is the
leading metals distribution company in Australia, with revenues of
$3 billion Australian dollars. OneSteel has over 200 operational sites
in Australia and New Zealand, more than 30,000 customers and employs
approximately 7,400 people.

The Pellet Plant within the OneSteel Whyalla Steelworks engaged Dingo
in November 2005 to review the Condition Based Asset Management
practices employed at the plant for the purpose of identifying
improvement areas that if rectified could provide significant financial
return to the business.


The Opportunity Assessment report presented in early January 2006
documented a significant financial return. The published financial return
used data collected during the Opportunity Assessment and was developed in
conjunction with Pellet Plant Management.


As a result of the Opportunity Assessment and the financial return
calculated, Dingo has been asked by the Pellet Plant to submit a proposal
to aid the plant realise the financial benefits on offer.


The plant has capable people who could undertake the recommended
improvements if they had available time to implement the recommendations.
However, like many companies today the tasks to do are larger than the
resources to do them with. Dingo's capability to take responsibility
for the implementation of the Opportunity Assessment findings and
deliver financial benefits provides the Pellet Plant with a way to fast
track the financial return.



Matt Enbom, Maintenance Superintendent - Pellet Plant had this to say
about the Dingo Opportunity Assessment "I was impressed by professionalism of
the analysis and the calibre of the staff who attended site.
We look forward to seeing the results back up the claim in the later stages
of the project."
