BUET's Industrial and Production Engineering (IPE) Department students recently visited the Siam City Cement (Bangladesh) Ltd. (SCCBD) plant in Narayanganj. SCCBD is distinguished producer of premium cement, widely known as INSEE Cement. With a strong commitment to quality, SCCBD secures its own source of clinker from Saraburi, Thailand, ensuring a consistent supply of superior raw materials. The plant's operations are led by experienced Thai professionals, ensuring efficiency and adherence to international benchmarks.
The visit offered students an in-depth perspective on the cement manufacturing process, covering every stage from raw material procurement to the production of high-quality cement. They had the chance to observe advanced industrial machinery, particularly cutting-edge technology, equipment and systems used in cement grinding.
Key topics included the integration of processes to enhance operational efficiency and the implementation of stringent quality control measures vital for maintaining product excellence. Furthermore, the visit emphasized the importance of workplace safety, providing insights into robust protocols and industry best practices essen- tial for safe operations.
This initiative served as a vital knowledge-sharing platform, bridging academic theories with practical industrial applications. It enabled students to develop a comprehensive understanding of the complexities of cement production while highlighting the critical interplay between quality assurance, operational efficiency, and safety in industrial operations. SCCBD has been consistently collaborating with the Bangladesh University of Engineer- ing and Technology (BUET), leveraging its role as one of the knowledge-sharing partners. This partnership is aimed at fostering the exchange of expertise, research, and innovative solutions across various domains.
