Achieving cost leadership through optimized mix costs while ensuring quality stands as the cornerstone of successful Ready Mixed Concrete (RMC) operations. However, the Indian RMC industry currently falls short in terms of using cement contents that are truly optimized based on the practical performance of concrete in the field. This gap exists primarily due to the absence of a well-established benchmark linking ‘Cement content to strength’ relationships. Consequently, any optimization efforts made are essentially educated guesses. In contrast, the British Ready Mixed Concrete Association (BRMCA) has practiced a distinctive approach known as the “Polynomial mix design” for over eight decades. Practical implementation of CUSUM analysis and polynomial mix design has proven highly beneficial in the context of Indian RMC operations.

This strategic endeavor, with a proven track record, will result in an 8 to 10 percent reduction of cement content, directly contributing to your business’s profitability. This approach aligns well with the move toward low-carbon concrete, where minimizing cement content is vital for reducing the carbon footprint of concrete. The significance of leveraging this technology cannot be overstated. Exploring this unique method of concrete mix optimization promises to be a potential gamechanger for the RMC industry in India.

Collaborate with us to introduce a mix optimization initiative rooted in polynomial mix design and CUSUM analysis within your Ready Mixed Concrete (RMC) operations.

Through collaboration with our clients, we create a comprehensive quality manual, establish quality systems, develop laboratory manuals, and generate training documentation tailored for the Ready Mixed Concrete (RMC) business. We help you drive efficiency in the production process using “Performance Benchmarking” and the spider gap analysis to visually represent the variations or gaps in performance across identified performance indicators. In this way, we provide a comprehensive evaluation of the production process and its alignment with desired standards.
