LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
I tried my best to collect the maximum information from Bangladesh Steel Re-
Rolling Mills Ltd. But this report is not free from short faults. While I preparing this
report I faced some problems. These are as follows:
• My industrial tour is for only one day that is not enough to make a study
successfully.
• Lack of adequate time also caused some constraints to my study.
• The rate of success of my study may be limited, as we may have failed to collect
proper information due to lack of our experience.
• Some data could not be collected for their confidentiality and official secrecy.
• Time is not sufficient for such type research.
• Internet cost is so high. So we cannot collect huge information.
• It is very difficult to discuss there marketing practices in separately.
• My personal limitation also contributes greatly in making the study less perfect
then desired.
I, therefore, hope that the study will be evaluated subject to the recognition of the
above-mentioned shortcomings.

TORSTEEL
Major Advantages of Torsteel compared to mild steel round bars
Chemical Composition
Details of Dimensions, Masses Etc.

The introduction of high yield strength deformed bar as reinforcing steel has
revolutionized the world of reinforced concrete design. Rebbed - Torsteel bar or in
short TORSTEEL - a high strength cold - twisted deformed bar, originally developed
by TORISTEG STEEL CORPORATION of Luxembourg, Germany is now a widely
accepted re-bar in most countries of the world. BSRM was the foremost in Bangladesh
to produce and market Torsteel under licence from its inventors who possess the patent
right in Bangladesh for its manufacturing process with various profile combination.

Torsteel is produced from mild steel billets with limited carbon content (0.30% max.)
by controlled cold - twisting of hot-rolled deformed bar with its characteristic
configuration. Each bar is cold-twisted individually. The cold twisting works the steel
beyond its elastic limit and a bar with normally inherent defect breaks during twisting.
Every piece of Torsteel bar thus undergoes this severe automatic test during its
twisting process.

Use of Torsteel bar results in 40% steel saving and 30% saving in steel cost compared
to mild steel round bars of 36,000 psi (250 N/mm2) yield poin.

30
 Major Advantages of Torsteel compared to mild steel Round Bars.
 65% higher yield strength
 100% higher bond strength
 Satisfactory weldability due to ilmited carbon content
 Lesser crack width of RCC members
 20% extra factor of safety due to elimination of definite yield point
 Net economy in reinforcing cost: 35% in tension, 30% in compression
 End hooks not required due to 100% higher bond capacity
 Saves labour, transportation, supervision costs due to reduction in steel
consumption
 Being a licenced product the quality is guaranteed

SWOT OF BSRM

STREGHTHS:
1. Quality of our product
2. Best technical and managerial support
3. Direct distribution to the end users
4. Long time experience in MS product
5. Goodwill

WEAKNESS:
1. Labor unrest
2. Depend on outside transport

32
 2. Support of engineers and developers
3. Increased demand in every year
THREATS:
1. Demand may be decrease in future
2. Support from financial institutions decline
3. Not support from Govt. Regulations in time
4. Fluctuations in foreign currency

RECOMMENDATION
The following measures can be recommended for the industry:
1. There is no trade union, in the industry. So, trade union should be introduced.
2. Separate housing estate should be built up for employees as well as workers.
3. The production of the industry should be raised because the production is lower
than the demand of the product. That means, their product has high demand.
4. The company should maintain labor friendly environment.
5. The industry should expand its plant.
6. The industry should increase its channels of distribution of product.
7. The organization should give more emphasis on advertisement of its product.
8. Need to take steps for individual customers.
CONCLUSION
BSRM is the capital intensive mills. It is fully automated process. From my
visiting Bangladesh Steel Re-Rolling Mills Ltd, it is obvious that, they are producing
quality product. There is a great demand of their product in the real estate business. It is
also a pioneer and leading industry in the field of Steel. The several departments in this
industry are operating their respective activities smoothly and efficiently. The production,
sales and marketing activities of the company are expanding day by day in countrywide.
The organization is a completely profit making organization.
