Sidor

Sidor is an integrated steel complex located in the region of Guayana in the south of Venezuela. Today it is the leading steel producer not only in the country but also in the Andean Community region. It is one of the largest plants of its kind in the world. In the last year record production has been seen in almost all of the production lines.
Program Highlights:

Sidor’s steel-making operation in Puerto Ordez, Bolivar, Venezuela has a comprehensive program overseeing 6300 pieces of rotating machinery with vibration, ultrasound, infrared thermography, laser alignment, lubrication & wear particle analysis, flow pattern analysis and non-destructive testing.

Some unique metrics, such as Optimized Manpower Index - Quotient between quantity of PdM work orders and total work orders, Diagnosis Certainty Index – Quotient between quantity of successful diagnosis and total diagnosis and Repair Quality – quotient between quantity of good condition equipment after intervention and total of all interventions are unique.

In addition, the quality of example Root Cause Failure Analysis reporting is outstanding in support of improving machine reliability.
