Carry
out analysis of shift samples, like Raw Meal, Kiln feed, Coal Clinker,
Cement and any other raw materials according to the plant Effective
Quality Control Plan for shift lab; These analyses are to be done by XRF
in the Robot lab, by any means Robot lab XRF fails to do the
performance, analysis to be done by Bench top XRF, by any means XRF
breakdown, analysis to be done by wet chemistry (by conventional
method).The Shift QC Officer on shift is also responsible for the timely
feedback of analytical results to production department &
co-ordination with the said department to ensure that all plant products
at the various stages are within specified quality limits.

communicate personally. - Determination of moisture, Ash and its
sieve analysis of shift fine coal samples as per the Effective Quality
Control Plan and results recorded and communicated to CCR operators
through by phone or communicate personally. - Carry out the tests
of Cement SO3, Blaine, LOI and its sieve analysis as per the Effective
Quality Control Plan and results recorded and communicated to CCR
operators through by phone or communicate personally and if any result
is off for action to adjust clinker, gypsum and limestone feeders
according to targets set to produce quality cement. - Carries out
