A Review on Performance and Quality Management of Ready Mix Concrete Plant

Ready Mix Concrete is a ready-to-use material which is a mixture of Cement, Sand, Aggregate and Water. RMC is a type of Concrete which is mixed in a batching plant according to the specification of the customer and delivered to the site by the use of transit mixer as it is away from the construction site. It is necessary to ensure that concrete produced in a RMC plant should be of desired quality. Quality control is exercised in all stages right from material purchase to delivery of concrete at site. While using ready mix concrete it should be ensure that the producer of RMC has adopted quality assurance. Best practices are used to maintain quality as an alternative to mandatory standards. In order to ensure that concrete produced is of desired quality, it is necessary that quality control is exercised at all the stages right from receipt of raw material to delivery of concrete at site. This paper is an attempt to study the quality management of RMC Plant. This paper presents the results of an experimental study carried out to determine the concrete compressive strength at different RMC plants. The various control charts are drawn to know the corrective measures to be taken due to RMC production. The tests are carried out in accordance with IS standards. When applying best practice to organizations it will improve the unique qualities of an organization with the practices that it has in common with others.
