7.3.8.2 Raw Material Extraction Volume (t)

Description
This indicator corresponds to the quantity of raw material mined / extracted
and transported from the quarry to raw material preparation or other process
steps. HTC Code 100-TEXTR-RAW.

Reference to Process
This indicator refers to:

Main cost center 'Raw Material Extraction'


Product sub-segment clinker and cement
Product segment cementitious materials

Purpose
To measure actual quantity of raw material mined / extracted and
transported.
This indicator is the basis for measuring productivity, and is also needed to
elaborate specific production cost of the main cost center.

Calculation
This volume reflects the raw material mined / extracted and transported
directly to the crusher and / or to the stockpile at crusher area and also to
other process steps (cost centers) (see diagram below). The measurement
of the volume is made with feed belt scales or similar devices, e.g. in raw
material preparation process. If no such measuring system is available, the
extracted quantity of raw material can be calculated by counting the truck
loads and / or front end loader shovel loads multiplied by typical loading-
weight (determined weight of samples confirmed by bridge scales). The
water content of the raw material is included. Other purchased raw materials
must be weighed at the factory gate with bridge scales, however these
volumes are not considered in this process step, they will be reflected in the

Comments and Examples


If this activity is outsourced, the valid volume is the one specified in the
invoice and is included in the calculation if fed to the crusher or used in other
process steps. The costs for extraction are reflected in the type of cost
'Outsourced Quarry Activities' in the cost center 'Raw Material Extraction'.
Volumes transported to other process steps after 'Raw Material Preparation'
are included (e.g. high grade limestone consumed in the process step (main
cost center) 'Cement Production'. (1C of diagram below)).

7.3.8.3 Raw Material Preparation Volume (t)

Description
This indicator measures the quantity of raw material produced in the raw
material preparation process, for example crushing and homogenizing. HTC
Code 200-TPROD -RM.

Reference to Process
This indicator refers to:

Main cost center 'Raw Material Preparation'


Product sub-segment clinker and cement
Product segment cementitious materials

Purpose
To measure the actual volume of raw material produced.
This indicator is the basis for measuring productivity, and is also needed to
elaborate specific production cost of the main cost center.

Calculation
The total volume corresponds to own mined / extracted raw material fed to
the crusher (or other size reduction equipment) and other raw materials
purchased and processed (e.g. correctives, alternatives and traditional raw
materials) in the process step, to be used internally for clinker and / or
cement production.

The measurement of the volume is made with belt scales or similar devices
in the crushing process and / or before the storage pile. The water content of
the raw material is included. The calibration of the belt scales have to be
confirmed by sampling the material flow on to trucks and by confirming the
weight by bridge scales and by audits of inventories at least once per year.
Volumes sold leaving this process step will not be included in the

calculation.

Reporting
This indicator must be reported and reviewed on a monthly basis and in
annual intervals, according to the table below*:

Level Plant All Plants /


Sub-
Reporting Period Segment
Monthly X X
Year to Date (month) X X
12-Month Rolling

* Highlighted cells mean that the level and reporting period is requested in

Comments and Examples


The total quantity of raw material corresponds to the total of all lines in
operation. It is necessary to elaborate more than one indicator if two or more
preparation plants operate in one production line, e.g. different materials.
Raw material prepared within the process step (cost center) to be
transported to other process steps has to be included. Gypsum crushed
from an own quarry has to be included.

Example
A company purchases marl and clay and feeds them - together with the
limestone from the own quarry - into the first crusher, the volume of the
purchased material are reflected in the cost center 'Raw Material
Preparation'. The costs of the purchased material (marl and clay) have also
to be reflected in 'Raw Material Preparation'.

7.3.8.4 Raw Meal Preparation Volume (t)

The produced quantity of meal can be calculated by the total of the materials
fed minus material humidity. In this case the quantities of the materials fed
have to be measured by feed belt scales or similar devices. In the
production process limestone, marl clay and similar are ground together with
correctives and alternative raw materials and / or mixed together.

Correctives are high-grade limestone, kaolin, iron ore, silica sand, alumina
ore and alternative raw materials can be slag, fly ash, waste glass, etc.

For all processes (e.g. dry, semi dry, semi wet, wet) the water content of the
raw-meal / slurry is not included. The raw meal produced is determined by
raw material fed to the system minus the loss of moisture.

Volumes of raw meal, filler, etc. sold leaving this process step will not be
included in the calculation of the indicator.

7.3.8.5 Clinker Production Volume (t)

Description
This indicator corresponds to the actual quantity of clinker produced in
clinker production process, for instance kilns of all operating production
units. The quantity calculated comprises all clinker types as well as off
specification clinker. HTC Code 400-TPROD-CLINKE.

Reference to Process
This indicator refers to:

Main cost center 'Clinker Production'


Product sub-segment clinker and cement
Product segment cementitious materials

Purpose
To measure the actual volume of clinker produced.
This indicator is the basis for measuring productivity, and is also needed to
elaborate specific production cost of the main cost center.

7.3.8.5 Clinker Production Volume (t)

The raw meal / clinker factor corresponds to the mass reduction during the
burning process (raw meal fed to the kiln minus humidity, removal of
structural water, de-carbonization, dust loss in long kilns and by-pass). It lies
typically between 55% and 65%, for instance in order to fabricate 1 ton of
clinker, 1.55 to 1.65 tons of raw meal are needed (up to 1.8 tons for wet or
by-pass operation).

If the volume of clinker manufactured is calculated by using the raw meal /


clinker ratio, then this factor has to be verified periodically by comparing the
inventories of the raw meal and the clinker volume feed to the clinker
storage. The latter can be measured by sampling the material flow on to
trucks and confirming the weight by bridge scales (at least during 12 hours).

The volume is measured by belt scales or gamma-ray devices after the


clinker cooler and before the clinker storage installation. If no such
measuring system is available, the produced quantity of clinker can be
calculated by taking the volume of raw meal feed to the kiln as a base. The
raw meal feed to the kiln is measured by weighing device either being a belt
scale, flow meter or similar. An empirically elaborated raw meal / clinker
factor is used to calculate the actual volume of clinker.

The calibration of the raw meal feeding weighing device and the
confirmation of the raw meal / clinker factor has to be done by internal
inventory audits. If differences of volumes determined physically and
inventories calculated are above 5%, then the measuring or weighing
devices must be re-calibrated. Inventory audits should be done once a
month. The kiln feed can be calibrated by re-circulating the flow through the
weigh bin (loss-in-weight method).

Reporting
This indicator must be reported and reviewed on a monthly basis and in
annual intervals, according to the table below*:

7.3.8.5 Clinker Production Volume (t)

Off specification clinker is the quantity of clinker produced, which does not
comply with the internal quality standard. The total quantity corresponds to
the total of all kiln lines in operation and different clinker types.

Clinker kiln dust volumes used in cement grinding or shipped should not be
included in the clinker production volume.

Raw meal inputs reflects kiln feed.

Comments and Examples


If the invoice is only available after a certain time, the bill of lading or
measurement, for example a weighing bridge, can be used (see Cement
Purchased / Transferred).

In general a company does not distinguish in clinker inventory between own


produced clinker and purchased clinker. Due to this, the inventory
movement of purchased / transferred clinker cannot always be determined.

Transferred is always considered as transferred in, from the point of view of


the receiving plant.

7.3.8.7 Cement Production Volume (t)

Cement production volume is calculated by the total of the materials fed to


mill (minus material moisture) and additional volumes blended (e.g.includes
MIC consumed at plant but not cement purchased / transferred consumed).

Cement purchased / transferred is only included if it is fed to the cement mill


and ground with a relevant change in finess.

Inventory audits should be done once a month and compared with the actual
production volumes. If physical inventory varies more than 5% from the
calculated inventory based on the production volume, then the measuring or
weighing devices must be re-calibrated.

Reporting
This indicator must be reported and reviewed on a monthly basis and in
annual intervals, according to the table below*:

the HMR.

Comments and Examples


The production volume will not coincide with the volume of cement shipped
from the shipping station at plant, because the inventory at the silos or
similar storage installations at the cement manufacturing plant can vary.

Note that cement Grinding volume corresponds to the quantity of cement


ground in cement grinding process steps, for instance grinding mills of all
production units in operation. The quantity accounted contains all cement
types This volume is basis for measuring productivity and efficiency of
cement mills.

This diagram shows an example where cement is produced and additional


materials are blended after cement grinding. For this example we can
determine that:

Cement Grinding volume equals 110,000 tons (99,000t + 6,000t+ 5,000t)


Cement Production volume equals 132,000 tons (110,000t + 15,000t +
7,000t)

Note that by-products are products and sevices incidental to the main
products sold. These are not included into the cement production volume.
(E.g. if 1,000t of high grade limestone ground in a cement mill is sold, than
the Cement Production Volume = 131,000 tons (110,000t - 1,000t + 15,000t
+ 7,000t).

7.3.8.12 Standard Cement Capacity Volume (t/year) [by


BDP]

Description
This indicator corresponds to the quantity of cement that can be produced in
cement grinding with a standard target OEE of 85% in function of BDP. The
quantity calculated contains all cement types. 500-TPYSTD-CEM.

Reference to Process
This indicator refers to:

Main cost center 'Cement Grinding'


Product sub-segment clinker and cement
Product segment cementitious materials

Purpose
To describe the actual maximum quantity of cement which can be produced
during a 12-month period in the process of the main cost center 'Cement
Grinding'.

Calculation
The standard cement capacity of a mill is calculated as follows:

Standard cement capacity (t/year) = BDP (t/h) x 24 hours x 365 days x 85%

BDP (t/h) Best Demonstrated Practice of a cement mill, measured in tons


= per hour (see Production Rate Index).
The 85% stands for the standard target OEE.

If several mills are installed in a plant the individual standard cement


capacities have to be summed up.

This factor is different for each cement type and should therefore be
calculated for each cement type at plant and on company level. This factor is
used to calculate specific cost of clinker production in terms of cement
produced (LC/t). For reporting purposes the overall clinker factor production
per plant and all plants has to be considered. This indicator does not
consider volumes blended after cement grinding, (e.g. in Shipping Station.)

The clinker factor production is 99,000t clinker / 132,000t cement = 75 %

8.2.9.1 Own Personnel (FTE)

Description
This indicator measures the number of full time equivalents on the payroll.
Part time employees, employees hired or leaving are converted to
equivalent of full time employees.

HTC Codes:

C00-FTEO-CEM (for the sub -segment clinker and cement)


C00-TEO -AGGR (for the sub-segment aggregates)
C00-FTEO-RMC (for the sub -segment ready-mix concrete)
700-FTEO (for the the main function distribution)

Reference to Process
The indicator refers to:

All cost centers of production and distribution


All support processes (corporate manufacturing, corporate logistics,
marketing and sales, administration)
All product sub-segments
All product segments

Purpose
The indicator measures the full time equivalent (FTE) personnel assigned to
functions and tasks.

Calculation

One FTE corresponds to a full time working employee (regardless of the


number of worked hours per day, overtime, vacation, sick time, training time,
apprentices and union meeting).

The degree of utilization is calculated as follows:

For persons newly hired or leaving, calculations should be done prorata


temporis. This calculation applies also to subcontracted personnel (FTE)

For part time personnel the contractual time of working hours divided by the

https://web.holcim.com/harp/harp-man.nsf/vwPrintManual/B3D89CC37999E4CAC1 ... 03.12.2002

standard number of hours, as defined by the management, is taken into


account. If needed this contractual time has to be amended according to the
real situation.

Long term disability is considered for FTE calculations. Only when the
company has no more obligation to pay wages to the employee according to
local rules, such persons are no more included in the FTE calculation.

Reporting
The indicator must be reported and reviewed on a monthly basis and in
annual intervals, according to the table below*:

Comments and Examples


Subcontracted personnel assigned full time to capital expenditure projects
lasting longer than 1 year, are not included. Part time subcontracted
employees are converted to full time equivalent subcontracted personnel
(FTE).

The number of subcontracted personnel of shipping station must be


reported separately within distribution . Subcontracted personnel assigned
to the warehouse (spare parts) administration, IT subcontracted personnel
assigned to the process control equipment, subcontracted maintenance
personnel are included within subcontracted production.

Third Party Services


All personnel who are not own or subcontracted belong per definition to third
party services.

Third party personnel are:


Fulfilling functions with their own know-how
Under the direct responsibility and authority of third party supervisors
The company does not directly control the worked hours but pays for a
service or a product ( in most cases the scope of work is defined and
measured in units e.g. LC/ volume bagged).

Note that:
Outsourced personnel in quarry activity or driving subcontracted trucks
are not included (as subcontracted personnel)
Due to the specific nature of the subject, third party services should be
analyzed as a cost indicator (not as an FTE Human Resources indicator)

8.2.2 Clinker and Cement

8.2.2.14 Availability Index (Net and Gross, %)

Definition
Gross Availability Index of main equipment corresponds to the ratio of actual
operating time to calendar time (total time in the period). Net Availability
Index of main equipment corresponds to the ratio of operating time and idle
time to calendar time. HTC Code HAC* -AVAG or HAC*-AVAN (* code as
detailed as required).

Reference to Process
This indicator refers to:

All main equipment in all main cost centers up to and including cement
grinding
Product sub-segment clinker and cement
Product segment cementitious materials

Purpose
The Gross Availability Index measures the utilization of the equipment, as it
refers to actual operating time, while the Net Availability Index measures the
total time for which the equipment could potentially be operated.

Calculation
Actual Operating Time (h) x 100
Gross Availability --------------------------------------------
Index (%) = ---------
Calendar time (h)

(Actual Operating Time (h) + Idle Time) x


100
Net Availability Index --------------------------------------------------------
(%) = ---------------------

8.2.2.14 Availability Index (Net and Gross, %)

Calendar Time (h)

where

Calendar = actual operating time + idle time + other downtime


time = 24 hours x # of days in the period i.e. total time in the period
Idle time= equipment is not operating but is in a condition for
immediate start up
Other = equipment is not operating and not in a condition for
downtime immediate start up

Operating time requires that the main equipment is operating and that it is
fed.

Reporting
This indicator must be reported and reviewed on monthly, 13 weeks and 12-
month rolling average according to the table below*:

Level Main Plant / All


Equipment Plant Sub-
Reporting Period Segment
Monthly X
Year to Date (month)
12-Month Rolling X
* Highlighted cells mean that the level and reporting period is requested in
the HMR.

This indicator is only relevant on main equipment level. For this reason no
aggregation or consolidation is necessary.

Comments and Examples


This indicator should be reviewed on a daily basis and trended over 13-
week and 12-month periods as a basis for operational decisions on asset,

Bearing failure of the kiln ID fan


Preventive / planned maintenance shutdown
Fire that damaged electrical cable trays of the kiln
Natural disasters with impact on the condition of equipment (e.g. flooding
of the engine room)
Shutdown of the kiln due to ruptured main plant water supply line

In cases where the condition of equipment in auxiliary cost centers (such as


the electric substation or plant water supply system) prevent a main
equipment from operating, this will be considered as other downtime for this
main equipment.

The main criteria whether a stoppage generates idle or other downtime is


the immediate starting availability (without any further maintenance) of the
main equipment.

Rule for maintenance work carried out during idle time:


An equipment is shutdown for idle time reasons and maintenance is
performed during the period. In this case, the time spent exclusively on
maintenance is considered as other downtime and the remaining time is
considered as idle time

Example

A main equipment is shutdown for 4 weeks due to market reasons and it is


decided that maintenance activities are performed only on one shift each
day. Although, the main equipment may not be in a condition to operate
during the period, the remaining two shifts per day are considered as idle
time:

The maintenance time is other downtime = 4 weeks x 7 days x 8 h (1 shift) =


224 h (shown in green).The idle time is 4 weeks x 7 days x 16 h (2 shifts) =
448 h.

8 Holcim Performance Indicators


8.2 Technical Indicators
8.2.2 Clinker and Cement

8.2.2.15 Production Rate Index (%) [by BDP]

Description
This indicator corresponds to the actual production rate expressed as a
percentage of the Best Demonstrated Practice (BDP). HTC Code HAC*-PRI
(* per kilns, per mill).

Reference to process
This indicator refers to:

All main equipment in all main cost centers up to and including 'Cement
Grinding'
Product sub-segment clinker and cement
Product segment cementitious materials

Purpose
To measure the rate of a process in order to identify and further eliminate
rate losses.

Calculation
For Kilns:
Actual Production Rate (t/day) x
100
Actual Production Rate -------------------------------------------
Index (%) = ----------------
BDP (t/day)

For Other Equipment:


Actual Production Rate (t/h) x

8.2.2.15 Production Rate Index (%) [by BDP]

BDP (t/h)

For the determination of BDP see Comments and


Examples at the end of this chapter.

For operating units where more than one product type is produced,
the Production Rate Index (%) should be calculated by weighing
the Production Rate Indices with the actual operating times for
each product:

Production Production Rate Index 1 * Operating Time 1 + Production Rate


Rate Index 2 * Operating Time 2
Index (%) = --------------------------------------------------------------------------
(operating ----------------------------
unit) Operating Time 1 + Operating Time 2

Reporting
This indicator must be reported and reviewed on monthly, 13 weeks and 12-
month rolling average according to the table below*:

Level Main Plant / All


Equipment plants Sub-
Reporting Period Segment
Monthly X
Year to Date (month)
12-Month Rolling X
* Highlighted cells mean that the level and reporting period is requested in
the HMR.

This indicator is only relevant on main equipment level. For this reason no
aggregation or consolidation is necessary.

Comments and Examples


When a BDP is adjusted, all Production Rate Index figures used in the
rolling average calculations have to be similarly adjusted, based on the
latest BDP, as well as the Net OEE and Gross OEE, in order to maintain
consistency of the figures.

Example: The BDP of a mill had changed from 70 t/h to 80 t/h in December.

8.2.2.15 Production Rate Index (%) [by BDP]

Then the 12-month rolling Production Rate Index must be based on 80 t/h
for all 12-month periods which include the month of the change (December),
i.e. the periods September to August, October to September etc.

Best Demonstrated Practice (BDP)


Description
The Best Demonstrated Practice (BDP) is an equipment specific value. It is
the best historical production rate, measured in tons/day (kiln) or tons/hour
(mills, crusher), for any product type, achieved during the last 24 months
before the budget phase. The BDP is re-determined annually for the new
budget.

Purpose
The BDP is necessary for calculation of Standard Clinker Capacity,
Standard Cement Capacity, Production Rate Index and therefore Net OEE

https://web.holcim.com/harp/harp-man.nsf/cc370b1caeb602edc1256a72003376c4/e77... 03.12.2002
8.2.2.15 Production Rate Index (%) [by BDP]

and Gross OEE .

Calculation
A. BDP for Kilns

The BDP for kilns is the highest historical production rate (tons/day)
achieved during the last 24 months before the budget phase. The BDP
fulfills the following additional conditions (see also graph):

It represents any of five consecutive days (5-day-window) within the


considered time period of 24 months.
The lowest value of this 5-day-window is not below 95% of the highest
value.
The downtime per day should not exceed 0.5 hours. If it is not possible to
find such a 5-day-window that qualifies, the arithmetic average of the
best five daily production rates has to be considered.
The considered production rates were not influenced by a reporting or
stock adjustment anomalies.
BDP is elaborated for each clinker production line and clinker type
individually.

Note that for new kilns or major investments the following applies:
In the first year of operation the design capacity is used as BDP. Afterwards
the BDP has to be determined according to the definition. If the production
time is below 24 months the rules to determine the BDP have to be applied
on the actual period the main equipment is in operation (at least twelve
months). The BDP may not be lower than the design capacity.

Recommended Procedure to Determine Kiln BDP


Take the average daily clinker production rates of the previous 24
months
Determine the 5-day-window with the highest production rate and all
other values not below 95% of it
Check whether the downtime of each individual day in the window is less
than 0.5h
The highest production rate in the window represents the BDP

8.2.2.15 Production Rate Index (%) [by BDP]

Changes of BDP
If it is required to change the kiln BDP, it must only be changed for the next
budget, even if major process changes influence the clinker capacity
considerably. It will become effective as of January 1st of the following year.

For BDP Reductions up to For BDP Reductions


5%: higher than 5%:
Assessment by HGRS is required
Plant proposes adjustment to the on basis of
company management as well as to
HGRS coordinators for approval. Historical development of BDP
Specific load of kiln installations
Modification of fuel, raw and
product mix
Modification of equipment

B. BDP for Other Equipment (Raw Mill, Cement Mill, Coal Mill, Crusher, etc.)

The BDP for Other Equipment per product (e.g. different cement types
ground on the same mill) is the arithmetic average of the five highest
historical production rates (tons/hour) achieved during the last 24 months
before the budget phase, which fulfills the following additional conditions:

The considered production rates were not influenced by a reporting or


stock adjustment anomalies
All products have to be considered
The lowest value of these five values must not be below 95% of the
highest value

If the operating time per day and per product is at least 8 hours: the BDP is
the arithmetic average of the five highest production rates of the days with at
least eight hours operating time per day during the considered period of 24
months.

If there are not sufficient 8-hour runs: the BDP is the arithmetic average of
the five highest production rates during the considered period of 24 months.

8.2.2.15 Production Rate Index (%) [by BDP]

Note that for new equipment or major investments the following


applies: in the first year of operation the design capacity is used as
BDP. Afterwards the BDP has to be determined according to the
definition. If the production time is below 24 months the rules to
determine the BDP have to be applied on the actual period the
asset is in operation. The BDP may not be lower than the design
capacity.
The BDP must be determined for raw mills and cement mills. It may also be
determined for other bottleneck equipment such as coal mills, crushers, etc.

Changes of BDP
If it is required to change the BDP, this should only be done at the end of the
year (for new budget), even if major process changes influence the
production capacity considerably. It will become effective as of January 1st
of the following year.

8 Holcim Performance Indicators


8.2 Technical Indicators
8.2.2 Clinker and Cement

8.2.2.16 Net Overall Equipment Efficiency, Net OEE (%)

Description
This indicator is a measure of the potential performance of a kiln taking into
account Net Availability Index (%), Production Rate Index (%) and Quality
index (%), excluding periods when the kiln was unable to run. HTC Codes:
400-OEEN-CLINKE and 500 -OEEN-CEM.

Reference to Process
This indicator refers to:
All kilns within main cost center 'Clinker Production'
Product sub-segment clinker and cement
Product segment cementitious materials

Purpose
To indicate the potential performance of a kiln.

Calculation
Net OEE (%) = Net Availability Index (%) x Production Rate Index (%) x
Quality Index (%)

For industries with an insignificant level of final product rejects such as the
oil and cement industries, the quality index of the OEE calculation is set to
100%.

Reporting
This indicator must be reported and reviewed on a monthly basis and in
annual intervals, according to the table below*:

Level Plant All Plants /

* Highlighted cells mean that the level and reporting period is requested in
the HMR.

Comments and Examples


This indicator should be used in conjunction with the Gross OEE, to
measure the gap between actual and potential performance of a kiln.
Further analysis should then be carried out on the Availability Index and
Production Rate Index components.

This indicator should be reviewed, at minimum, on a weekly basis, and the


rolling 13-week and rolling 12-month trends monitored, as a basis for
operational decisions on plant and company level.

Note that the 13-week period is more useful for analyzing short-term trends,
but can be heavily influenced by planned shutdowns (e.g. kiln relining). The
12-month period is more useful to understand overall trends.

Consolidated OEE of a plant is calculated as a weighted average by BDP


(see under Production Rate Index).

1370)
OEE -------------------------------------------------- = 90.6%
(%) = -----------------
430 + 420 + 1370

The consolidated OEE (kilns) of a company (as requested in the HMR)


follows the same rule.

Example: a company with two plants and two kilns in each plant:

Plant 1 Plant 2
Kiln (BDP ) Kiln (BDP )
1 1 3 3
Kiln (BDP ) Kiln (BDP )
2 2 4 4
Net OEE kiln % x BDP + Net OEE kiln % x BDP + Net OEE kiln % x

BDP + Net OEE kiln % x BDP
3 4 4
Net OEE (%) = ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------
BDP + BDP + BDP + BDP
1 2 3 4
When a BDP is adjusted, the OEE rolling averages have to be
recalculated using the new BDP, in order to maintain consistency
of the figures.
Example

The BDP of a kiln had changed from 1,200 t/d to 1,250 t/d in December.
Then the 12-month rolling OEE must be based on 1,250 t/d for all 12-month
periods which include the month of the change (December), i.e. the periods
September to August, October to September etc.

Note that for other main equipment it can also be needed to calculate Net
OEE. In this case the same concept is applicable.

main equipment. HTC Code HAC*-MTBF (*per kiln, per mill).

Reference to Process
This indicator refers to:
All main equipment in all main cost centers up to and including 'Cement
Grinding'
Product sub-segment clinker and cement
Product segment cementitious materials

Purpose
To quantify the frequency and average duration of failures, for a main
equipment in order to determine the overall effectiveness of a preventive
maintenance strategy. This indicator may be used to determine the need for
Preventive Maintenance Routines (PMR's) to be introduced or amended for
a main equipment. It can also be used to identify the need for changes in
operational procedures or engineering design. It should not necessarily be
used to determine the frequency of a PMR.

Failures include all stoppages that result in other downtime (see Availability
Index) as well as uncontrolled shutdowns that lead to idle time.

This means that all stoppages are failures, not considering planned
shutdowns, which lead to idle time (peak hour, market demand, etc.)

Example of failures:

Breakdown of kiln ID Fan due to defective bearing


Preventive/planned maintenance shutdown of the main equipment
Unanticipated power supply failure e.g. storm
Raw mill shuts down due to uncontrolled shutdown of the kiln. Failure is
both for raw mill and kiln main equipment
Shutdown due to lack of demand (idle time) but maintenance activities
affecting the main equipment availability are performed during the
stoppage

What may be excluded from failures (only if no maintenance activities

affecting the main equipment availability are performed during the


stoppage):

Controlled raw mill shutdown due to controlled planned maintenance


shutdown of the kiln (not a failure for the raw mill but a failure for the kiln
Electric power curtailment
Off-peak power utilization
Shutdown to allow changing material and/or product type
Shutdown due to lack of demand (idle time), and no maintenance
activities affecting the main equipment availability are performed during
the stoppage

Reporting
This indicator must be reported and reviewed on a monthly basis and in
annual intervals, according to the table below*:

Level Main Plant / All


Equipment Plants Sub-
Reporting Period Segment
Monthly X
Year to Date (month)
12-Month Rolling X
* Highlighted cells mean that the level and reporting period is requested in
the HMR.

This indicator is only relevant on main equipment level. For this reason no
aggregation or consolidation is necessary.

Comments and Examples


The MTBF should be calculated for each main equipment. Ideally, the MTBF
should be calculated using the previous 13-week and 12-month history of
the main equipment to provide an accurate measurement. 52 weeks of
machine history should be used since it typically represents one complete
maintenance cycle.

Strength (%)

Description
This indicator is described by the coefficient of variation of the compressive
strength of cement mortar, according to local / regional requirements. HTC
Code 500-VARI-CEM.

Reference to Process
This indicator refers to:
Main cost center 'Cement Grinding' and 'Shipping Station'
Product sub-segment clinker and cement
Product segment cementitious materials

Purpose
To measure the variability of the cement mortar compressing strength as an
expression of the quality of the manufacturing process.

Calculation

The physical testing of compressive strength is performed on cement

samples taken from cement production and / or shipping station (i.e.


'Cement Grinding' and 'Shipping Station' main cost centers). Frequency of
strength performance testing should be done according to local/regional
standards / requirements, however testing on daily composite samples is
recommended if feasible.

Reporting
This indicator must be reported and reviewed on a monthly basis and in
annual intervals, according to the table below*:

The above formulas calculate the monthly values of the average and the
standard deviation.

Year To Date (YTD)
The YTD values are calculated from the respective monthly figures (see
equations 1 and 2) according to the following:

If the scattering around the average of the respective period also has
systematically changed, the standard deviations s , s , ..., s (see Equation

no.2) should also be separately calculated and noted. If, however, the
scatter remains the same and only the average is changing, the standard
deviation can be calculated including all periods together according to the
following equation:
