3. Problem Statement
Tata Steel is looking for an original idea that will use any aspect of
digital technology (cloud, mobile, Android etc ) to create an
application or platform that can be integrated with the strategic
management requirements of the company.
The paper must include the following sections:-
 Identify a need or a gap in the current management architecture of Tata Steel.
Information available in the public domain can be used for this purpose.
 Propose a solution that will show how the current gap can be closed or
narrowed significantly.
 List benefits that will accrue to the company if it is implemented. Identify
potential problems or difficulties that need to be guarded against.
 Provide rough estimate of costs including people costs that the company
would have to incur as a one time expense and as a regular expense.

4. Current Scenario
Problem - A
 A lot of time is spent on material handling:-
- Storage of raw material, semi finished goods and
finished goods in yards
- Transportation of Fabricated steel structure to and
from yard to the shipment point
- Retrieving half fabricated steel structure for re-
work
 Identifying material in a large stack is a big problem
Problem – B
 Standalone Systems – need for integration and
collaboration

5. A: Smart Tagging
Smart tagging using RFID tags
Benefits :
 Identify the location of particular steel material in big
yards
 Can identify the client name, project details to which the
material belongs
 Can reduce the theft of material
Results :
 Reduces material retrieval time .
 A large amount of data like design, project details, column
numbers etc. can be stored

6. A: Forward Path
 If a part of steel column is lying in a stack for some
number of days, so an automatic mail can be generated
to the concerned department
 Production/ Planning department may take necessary
action.
Benefits
 Material reconciliation will be faster

7. A: RFID Tags

8. A: Possible Challenges
 RFID System are often more expensive than barcode
system. Though it is very beneficial, it is quite
expensive to install.
 Although the tags work in harsh environment, the
signals from certain types of tags get affected when
they come in close contact with certain metals or
liquids. Reading such tags becomes difficult and
sometimes the data read, is erroneous.

9. B: Enterprise 2.0
 Aim employees, customers and suppliers to
collaborate, share, and organize information via Web
2.0 technologies.
 It provides rapid and agile collaboration, information
sharing, emergence and integration capabilities in the
extended enterprise
