Indonesia, one of the biggest economies in Southeast Asia, is experiencing an expansion of industry through infrastructure, manufacturing, and urbanization, with the steel industry being the core of that expansion. Steel is the backbone to construction, to automotive, to machinery, and so on. As such, to improve efficiency, sustainability in production and productivity of producing steel, companies are bringing in steel plant consultants and steel consultancy services to allow them to gain technical knowledge and strategic expertise in order for Indonesia's steel industry to produce more, better quality and cheaper steel.

 

The Growing Significance of Steel and Iron in the Indonesian Economy

Steel is arguably Indonesia's largest essential raw material for infrastructure and industrial development initiatives, as well as the presence of steel products is ubiquitous - on highways, bridges, buildings, machinery, vehicles, household items, etc. With Indonesia's ambitions about becoming a manufacturing hub for the region, demand for steel of high quality will continue to expand and will also necessitate modern facilities and increased capacity and capability.

For steel producers the supply of raw materials is one part of the equation; they will also have to innovate, design efficient plants, operate in sustainable ways, and be concerned with the environmental impacts that they--as producers--have. This will be where a steel plant consultant will come in.

 

What Is a Steel Plant Consultant?

A steel plant consultant is a technical and strategic advisor that supports steel manufacturers throughout the entire life cycle of plant design and operation. Steel plant consultants will be able to provide support for all aspects of steel manufacturing in the following areas:

Feasibility Studies - Assessing the viability of a project - market size, market demand, financial analysis to be successful steel plant proposals in the most profitable way possible.

Plant Design & Engineering - Designing the plant layout, evaluating technologies to optimize space, workflow design and productivity.

Equipment Specification - Advising on all of the latest machines and technologies that reduce operating costs and improve the quality of the final product.

Process Optimization - Improving the efficiency of production processes, reducing waste and variations, and producing a consistent product.

Environmental Compliance: Assisting plants with compliance to stringent environmental regulations, as well as sustainability benchmarks.

Training & Support: Providing technical training and support to plant personnel, to ensure a consistent level of operational control.

Through these services steel consulting companies help to ensure steel plants are able to operate more effectively, economically, while also ensuring environmental compliance.

 

Why Indonesian steelmakers Need Steel Consulting Services

The Indonesian steel industry faces unique challenges:

The increase cost of raw materials and volatility with global steel price means that steelmakers will have to find

ways to manage cost.

Regulations about environmental compliance are only becoming more stringent, which leads steel plants to consider using for technologies with "greener" footprints.

Technology is advancing so rapidly, it forces steel plants to constantly modify equipment, or processes.

Demand for a wide range of steel products creates a need for manufacturers to be nimble and innovative.

These challenges are not likely to go away, nor will they be easy to navigate. To be successful operating in these conditions will require expert advice from a trusted steel consultant, able to understand both global and local conditions. Professional steel consulting services can assist manufacturers to not only implement best practices and continue positive, smart and responsible technological change, but also be part of a supply chain, by selecting reliable steel suppliers, making them sustainable.
