2. Objective of Project
It involves analysis of :
Existing costing process.
Peculiarity in costing of API grade steel.
Suggestions.
Data Collection
Liquid steel costing and Grade extra calculation.
Cost benefit analysis and results.
3. Existing Costing Process
Cost of
Liquid Steel
Total Cost
of Special
Grade
Cost of
Yield Loss & Grade Extra
Other (calculated
Process Cost over
JVGL06)
4. Peculiarity of API Grade costing
Strict
Costly Ferro Higher rate Larger
quality Downgrade
Alloys of rejection inventory
check
5. Suggestion
Current costing process excludes extra cost incurred
due to higher rejection and cost of delayed payment
due to larger inventory turnover days. This project
analyses whether overall extra cost incurred into API
grade steel production is being recovered.
6. Current Costing Ignores following

7. Data Collection
Monthly Production Plan to calculate
raw materials required per ton of LS.
Ferro Alloy addition from SMS.
Chemistry of API grade steel.
Current Market Price of raw
materials and Ferro alloys.
8. Data Collection
Yield of different process in
preparing HR coils
Raw material import data.
Railway & Shipping freight.
Audited Financial Reports of JSW
