Tata steel is a big and interesting plant which handles all the production steps from raw materials to strip products. The total supply chain is a balanced chain of products prepared for the client. This research is done in the Oxygen Steel factory (OSF2), the “kitchen” of the steelmaking process. OSF2 is a critical chain in the total plant in IJmuiden. The blast furnaces provide a continuous flow of hot metal, which is a continuous input for OSF2. If the production in OSF2 falls still, this results in immediate production loss for Tata Steel IJmuiden. For the production process the resources around the process play an important part. Since OSF2 was build in 1968 all kinds of problems occurred concerning ventilation problems and dust distribution. A lot has been changed around the factory with new developments around the steelmaking and to provide higher production rates. Research on this has been done in the past but a lot of the recommendations has not been implemented. The production process is very dependent on the resources used around it. These resources are cranes, materials and employees working with and around the process. Because of the increased production volume the disturbances for the resources because of heat and dust has increased as well. The emissions from some sections of the factory have increased significantly through the years, and the dust in the factory causes a lot of inconvenience. Waste flows are identified per location and combined with different aggregates injected into the process. Heat points within the factory are mostly causes by the production process. On these points heavy cooling is installed. Heat losses also come from the steel pans transported through the factory; but not as heavily as the production process affect the factory. All these questions and information lead to a problem statement; “Develop an overall concept to reduce the disruptive influence of heat and dust inside the factory”
