Program Overview
This expert-led program on decision control in plate mill operations is designed for operations and process professionals in the steel manufacturing sector. It addresses quality losses, downgrades, and reprocessing caused by judgment-driven decisions made under schedule, throughput, and delivery pressure. Participants will gain the ability to evaluate critical trade-offs and intervene early to protect plate quality, yield, and customer acceptance. The program uses expert-led plate mill scenarios and defect-to-decision analysis to ensure practical application.
