Abstract
Time has a decisive effect on the compactness and continuity of multi-factor mass flow operations in manufacturing processes. In the steel manufacturing process, coordination in terms of time is crucial in the operations of all its procedures and devices. The time factor in manufacturing process operations has assumed a wealth of manifestations and forms, as for example time-points, time-positions, time-rhythms, time-cycles, and so forth. Analysis of these forms is of major significance for setting up an effective information regulation and control system at steel plants. Time has a dual role as both an independent variable and an objective function in the dynamic-orderly operation of the manufacturing process at steel plants.
