Análise da viabilidade econômica da utilização de cilindros cromados no Laminador de Tiras a Frio e no Laminador de Encruamento de uma Siderúrgica

Abstract

With the increasing search for cost reduction and increased productivity, it is essential to optimize processes with tools that make it possible to manufacture at the lowest possible cost in the shortest time. This study aims to identify the benefits of the use of chrome work cylinders in the Cold Strip Roller (LTF) and the Steel Rolling Mill (LE) of a Steel Plant and verify if it is economically feasible to make an initial investment of R$ 210,000, 00 with chrome plating and cylinder transport and if the monthly benefits and costs are sufficient to absorb depreciation and IR. The NPV, IRR and Payback were analyzed and we can conclude that the investment is feasible, according with the suppositions made.
