General precautions to Reduce Cost in Flour Production Premises

By- Sanjeewa Dharmarathna- Understanding mill operation

Optimization of fixed costs in a milling operation has many aspects to look into prior to the actual conversion of the grain into products sought by the end users. All of the processes functionality and efficiency will depend on the commitment of the millers, their assistants and the engineering department of the mill. In this paper, will discuss about general operative precautions to reduce costs in mill premises in day to day life.

Before going into general precautions for reducing costs in production premises, it is important to have knowledge on basic cost related terms to the Millers.

Productivity 

Productivity describes various measures of the efficiency of production. A productivity measure is expressed as the ratio of output to inputs used in a production process.

Cost

In production the cost is the value of money that has been used up to produce something or deliver a service, and hence is not available for use anymore. Other way, the cost may be one of acquisition, in which case the amount of money expended to acquire it is counted as cost.The amount or expenditure, incurred or attributed to a thing or activity.

Cost classification

Direct costs

This can be traced directly to a cost object such as a product or a department. In other words, direct costs do not have to be allocated to a product, department, or other cost object.

For example, if a company produces wheat flour, the cost of the wheat and the cost of the operator are direct cost, they are clearly traceable to the production department and to each item produced.

Indirect cost

Indirect costs are costs that are not directly accountable to a cost object. Indirect costs may be either fixed or variable. Indirect costs include administration, personnel and security costs. These are those costs which are not directly related to production. 

Prime cost

Prime cost is the combination of a manufactured product's costs of direct materials and direct labor. In other words, prime cost refers to the direct production costs. 

Overhead cost

The indirect costs or fixed expenses of operating a business (that is, the costs not directly related to the manufacture of a product or delivery of a service) that range from rent to administrative costs to marketing costs. Overhead refers to all non-labor expenses required to operate a business.

All Indirect material and indirect labor.

Fixed costs

Fixed costs, indirect costs or overheads are business expenses that are not dependent on the level of goods or services produced by the business. They tend to be time-related, such as interest or rents being paid per month, and are often referred to as overhead costs.

Variable cost

Variable costs are costs that change as the quantity of the good or service that a business produces changes. Can be termed as activity bound cost. It is vary with level of activities of companies.

Revenue

Revenue is the income that a business have from its normal business activities, usually from the sale of goods and services to customers. Revenue is also referred to as sales or turnover.

Profit

The financial gain, especially the difference between the amount revenue and the amount total costs in buying, operating, or producing something.

Contribution margin

Contribution margin, is the revenue minus the variable cost. "Contribution" represents the portion of sales revenue that is not consumed by variable costs and so contributes to the coverage of fixed costs.

Break Even Point

It is the point at which total cost and total revenue are equal. There is no net loss or gain.

Current Assets

For more information, please visit Wheat Flour Processing Plant.

It is, cash and other assets that are expected to be converted to cash within a year or less.

Current liabilities

Current liabilities are often understood as amounts due to be paid to creditors in cash within the fiscal year or the operating cycle of a given firm, whichever period is longer.

Working capital

Working capital, also known as net working capital (NWC), is the difference between a company's current assets, such as cash, accounts receivable (customers' unpaid bills) and inventories of raw materials and finished goods, and its current liabilities, such as accounts payable.

Gross working capital 

Gross working capital is the sum of all of a company's current assets (assets that are convertible to cash within a year or less). Gross working capital includes assets such as cash, accounts receivable, inventory, short-term investments and marketable securities.

Current Ratio

Ratio between current assets and current liabilities of a firm. The ideal value is 2:1 for a worthful business.

Type of waste- lean production system

General precautions can be taken to reduce cost in mill premises

Electricity bill

Power requirements in mills is one of the highest of all operational costs, and it is pertinent that all equipment used, is run at optimum capacity to avoid under utilization and wastage. The electrical engineering team has to regularly inspect and correct any anomalies in the transformer banks, capacitor banks and MCB’s, thereby ensuring that there are no unnecessary interruptions during normal operations. MCC’s have to be inspected regularly during which time the electricians must check and ensure that all connections to and from the circuit breakers and overloads are tightened to avoid shorts and failures during normal operations.

Most mills around the world are allocated power off the local power grid, that has to be consumed by the mill or a levy is imposed by the supplier. It is therefore extremely important for the miller to ensure that when the facilities are operational, that they operate at design capacity or better always, and that the parameters set out by management for target moisture content of conditioned wheat as well as quality parameters for milled products are met. This is only achievable if all plant and equipment are maintained and adjusted correctly.

Capacity Maintaining

At intake, we ensure that the capacity of the equipment is fully utilized and that down time is reduced to the minimum. The maintenance team ensures that all equipment is serviced at the required intervals and that any piece that is suspect, is repaired or replaced timeously, avoiding breakdowns during operation.

Lubrication of bearings and inspection of the condition of mixing screw conveyors, chain conveyors and elevators helps keep the facility operation at optimum design capacity always. The operator has to ensure that intake capacity is maintained throughout the receiving period.

SILO STORAGE CAPACITY MUST BE FULLY UTILIZED

Silo storage capacity must be fully utilized as well. In order to achieve this, the operator adjusts all pre-cleaning equipment (drum sieves; aspirators and separators, where installed) to ensure that all or as much of the impurities are removed at all times. Scales and other monitoring, dosing, and measuring equipment has to be fully functional at all times. All wearing components are inspected and replaced when necessary. This prevents breakdowns and lost time as well as ensuring the accuracy of the equipment.

Wheat quality inspection on arrival at the plant ensures that production parameters can be achieved during normal runs without too many adjustments being made to the mill. Housekeeping in the plant is critical for the miller to be able to identify and correct leaks I spouting, sifter sleeves as well as air leaks, compressors are maintained regularly, in which case, it is more profitable to have the specialists’ contract for the maintenance and upkeep of these machines.

Thorough cleaning of wheat

In the screens room, the miller must adjust all the cleaning equipment to remove the impurities, ensuring that only clean wheat is conditioned (impurities in conditioned wheat can result in blockages in the discharge spouting as well as erratic moisture and flow rate to the mill). Lying times and consistent flow through the screens room ensures that the desired B1 moisture content is maintained throughout the run. Here too, maintenance plays an important role in ensuring functionality of equipment at all times.

Inspecting roll passages regularly

In the mill, it is critical that all fluted rolls are thoroughly inspected for wear and that the roll disposition is correct during roll changes. It is the millers’ duty to ensure that roll scratching are done every time the mill is stopped for maintenance. This ensures that when the mill is operating, the required break releases are achieved. Where there is more than one roll stand being used for each break passage, the miller must correctly balance the feed over all the roller mills involved, thus ensuring that there is always even distribution of the stocks to the equipment following each stage in the process.

Smooth rolls are inspected and replaced regularly when there are signs of wear. (Having in-house re-fluting and re-surfacing equipment are an advantage to any mill). Proper and thorough millers’ maintenance on roller mills ensures that there are no blockages in the flow of feed through the feed gates and that the feed is spread across the entire width of the roll. Maintenance and adjustment of brushes and roll scrapers help preserve the life of the roll surfaces and ensure that grinding on the various stages is maintained at correct levels.

Plan sifter maintenance

Plan sifter maintenance by the millers and correct replacement of holed and torn sieves helps with correct distribution of stock to purifiers and lower break and reduction rolls, and proper separation of flour from every stream.

Broken and holed sieves cause contamination of stocks and out of spec production, which result in more rework in the mixing and blending plants as well as returns by customers, which could result in loss of customers. This can impact on the profitability of the plant and reworking of the returns through the mill.

Lubrication of bearings of the sifters helps prevent breakdowns and keeps the machine functioning well. Inspection and replacement of drive belts keep the machine running at the correct speed at all times, and avoids breakdowns and stoppages due to chokes.

Purifier maintenance and inspection

It is important to ensure proper separation and distribution of stocks through the following processes. Proper functioning of brushes and turning devices ensure that sieves are kept clean at all times. Mechanical inspection and replacement of wearing components at regular intervals ensure that the machine functions to design specification at all times.

Filter maintenance

Regular replacement of blinded filters will ensure that there always enough general exhaust to equipment and that the pneumatics of the mill are functioning to requirements, preventing chokes that require rework and delays as well as product contamination in this manner.

Airlock inspection

Inspection and lubrication ensure that there is no blockages and stock being sucked into the filter, causing filter blockages and loss of pneumatic lift. Regular inspection and oil changes to blowers ensure that there is always sufficient transport air for milled products to be transferred to the mill bins.

This also keeps the blowers working at controlled temperatures without generation too much heat that can impact on the flour moisture content.

Maintenance of Supplementary equipments

All other supplementary equipment such as impact detachers, drum detachers, bran finishers are inspected and maintained at regular intervals and any repairs due are carried out as required.

Flour bin management

All milled product holding bins to be completely emptied; cleaned and inspected at regular intervals and records maintained to prevent or avoid,

1) Infestation of products, as well as

2) Mixing of different products that can result in cross-contamination and rework.

Dossing Equipment

Mixers in the plant are inspected, cleaned and sanitized on a monthly basis, during which time the bearings are lubricated, geared motor oil level checked and topped up if necessary. All dosing scales are checked for accuracy and any anomalies rectified.

Packing bins and Packing lines Maintenance

Packing bins are cleaned weekly to prevent infestation and mixing of finished products, bin top filters are cleaned and sleeves replaced if necessary, fans are inspected and serviced during cleaning procedures.

Packing lines stopped regularly for maintenance and repairs where necessary. All wearing components are replaced when necessary. The accuracy of all packing scales and dosing equipment has to be checked regularly to avoid over weights which are a loss to the company and under weights which can result in returns and loss of customers. Truck scales and weighbridges have to be checked regularly and calibrated annually to avoid under and over weights leaving the plant.

Ultimately, planned maintenance and regular inspection of all equipment in the plant is the key to optimizing fixed costs.

This basically covers everything that operations should be taking care of to keep fixed costs at a manageable level and generate savings. Replacement of major components means more capital expenditure, resulting in lower margins at the end of the day.
