15. Manufacturing Process How Process Works • The cement manufacturing process begins when limestone, the basic raw material used to make cement, is either quarried from an open pit quarry from an underground mine. • Limestone should be crushed and grinded before further usage. Crusher reduces the size of the limestone from1m to 15mm. • The limestone is combined with clay, ground in a crusher and fed into the additive silo, sand, iron and bottom ash are then combined with the limestone and clay in a carefully controlled mixture which is ground into a fine powder in a 2000hp roller mill. www.assignmentpoint.com

17. Manufacturing Process How Process Works • Next, the fine powder is heated as it passes through the pre-heater tower into a large kiln, which is over half the length of a football field and 4.2 meters in diameter. In kiln, the powder is heated from 1350 to 1450 degree Celsius. This creates a new product, called clinker which resembles pelletes about the size of marbles. www.assignmentpoint.com

27. Inventory Management cement is an intermediate product used in materials like concrete. Cement is considered a commodity. Therefore its storage, inventory and management will be like that of any commodity. The goal in inventorying a commodity such as cement is twofold: to store it and to track it. Because cement cannot hold its own shape, the most accurate way to inventory cement is by storing it in containers www.assignmentpoint.com
