REV: 3/19/08

SCOPE: This procedure covers the steps involved in receiving steel or other metals to be forged or machined*.

STEP WHO WHEN INFO TO USE WHAT TO DO RESULTS

1

Steelyard Specialist, Steelyard Leadman or Steelyard Helper

Steel arrives on truck

Packing list, vendor steel tags, Purchase Order for raw material

Before unloading truck compare packing list to the raw material Purchase Order to make sure the steel received is the steel ordered; check packing list against vendor steel tag to ensure tag agrees with packing list; check packing list to mill heat number stamped on end of the bars (when available); check diameter of each bundle; check for seams and/or roll marks; sign packing list; weigh each bundle and record data on packing list; unload steel from truck; put steel in bins; paint ends of the steel using the Forging Materials Reference List; put the steel assigned bins on receiving paperwork; send Packing List, Bill of Lading, Material Certifications to Materials Manager.

If seams or roll marks are found place a hold tag on the bundle, put the steel in the hold bin; call QC Inspector to inspect  seams or roll marks to verify depth; initiate raw material nonconformance procedure (TOP-RMNON).

The steel received is checked and verified. Steel is color coded and put in steelyard; problems are reported; discrepant incoming steel is tagged and quarantined; QC Inspector inspects seams or roll marks and verifies depth; raw material nonconformance procedure initiated

Materials Manager

Receive packing list

Packing list, Pre-made Bundle ID Stickers, raw material purchase order in computer system, raw material certifications

Enter heat number information into computer system (the computer system will generate the next heat number). Enter bundle, bundle weight, other criteria such as mercury-free, no weld repair statement or country of origin and receiving information into computer system. Verify that this information had been correctly entered into the computer system. If raw material  certifications indicate that the material does not comply with the requirements on either the raw material purchase order, Spec ID or the Material Master, investigate any discrepancy and determine what action is required. If new heat number, enter chemistry into Heat Code information in the computer; send Steel Stickers to be placed on the bundle tags with the lot number, size, grade, heat code, weight, and vendor.

Steel info entry is reviewed and verified. Chemistry is checked and entered into Heat Code info. Bundle ID and Heat Code are assigned; Steel Stickers sent to the Steelyard
