LMU
Cost of power
Cost/MWh
P-Plant
Total power expenses for cement in bin manufacturing.
For plants with several main substations with distinct contracts, this definition applies separately to each main
substation for the shops serviced
(Example: Quarry with a dedicated substation). For plants generating their own power, resources used to
produce this power should only appear once:
- Either in the cost of MWh, but only if the resources used are completely known. In this case not only expenses
but also related resources (hours, population, MJ, etc...) will be charged to MWh and not to clinker or cement.
- Or in Fuel, labor, etc...for the production or clinker or cement. In such a case, the expense for this production
of MWh is nil. In both cases, the Power expenses is calculated as: (Expense of MWh production+Purchase of
MWh-Sale of MWh).

Total power expenses for cement in bin manufacturing divided by the corresponding quantity of MWh
consumed during a given period.
For plants with several main substations with distinct contracts, this definition applies separately to each
main substation for the shops serviced (Example: Quarry with a dedicated substation). For plants
generating their own power, resources used to produce this power should only appear once: - Either in the
cost of MWh, but only if the resources used are completely known. In this case not only expenses but also
related resources (hours, population, MJ, etc...) will be charged to MWh and not to clinker or cement. - Or in
Fuel, labor, etc...for the production or clinker or cement. In such a case, the expense for this production of
MWh is nil.

LMU/GJ
Average Specific Heat Cost

Cost/GJ
P - Plant
The average specific heat cost or cost of fuel mix is the average heat expense of the different fuels used for
clinker production, weighted by the % of heat consumed.
For plants generating their own power, fuels already included in the power cost can not be taken into
account. The costs of the in-house power plant should only appear once in the clinker production cost: either
as fuel and fuel costs, or in the power cost.
From 2006, this indicator will be also used for the calculation of the Alternative Fuels gross savings (see
PR086X).

regardless of their destination during a given period.
For plants generating their own power, fuels included in the power generation cost are not to be taken into
account. The costs of the in-house power plant should only appear once in the Cement cost: either in fuel
consumption and fuel costs, or in the power cost. These expenses include the expenses of upstream
products.

Cement/clinker ratio: Tonnage of Cement produced, divided by the tonnage of clinker of any origin consumed.
Slag and Cement Production Record
Objectives:
- Promote the approach that allows performance tracking in the plant
- Reconcile the two reporting types: Technical (CKHC/MMP) and Financial (Control)
General rules:
- Former "Cement in bin" will be understood as "Cement in bin before packing and shipping".
In this notion we will include mixing/blending operations. Blending operations are an extension of the grinding
operations. Blender/mixer is part of the Grinding Shop.
- Total Technical cost: indicator CE005X will include all the costs associated with the mixing/blending operations.
- Other indicators. Ex: total power consumption: indicator CR056X will include the power, if any, related to
mixing/blending. Same rule for other concerned position (ex: manpower)
Consequences on slag/cement production record:
Slag ground with clinker in a cement plant enters in the C/K calculation. It represents the typical case. It
includes:
- Slag introduced in the cooler
- Slag introduced in the finish mills
NB: Please check on the ARM definition regarding the slag introduced in the kiln feed, kiln middle or at the kiln
end.
Slag ground in a cement plant or in a grinding station and sold as pure slag (ex: Newcem) does not enter in the
calculation of the C/K neither at the site level nor at BU level. The ground slag is reported in CKHC production for
the respective finish mills.
Slag ground in a cement plant or in a grinding station and blended with cement in the same plant but after silage
(ex: Maxcem) is included in the C/K ratio. The ground slag is reported in CKHC production for the respective
finish mills. The cost for blending is part of "Cement in bin before packing and shipping".
Purchased ground slag blended with cement after silage but in the same plant is included in the C/K ratio. The
purchased slag cost is included in the "Cement in bin before packing and shipping" cost.
Slag reground with cement in a regrinding station enters in the C/K calculation and in the "Cement in bin before
packing and shipping" costs (including at BU level).
Kiln dust reintroduced in cement is counted as an additive and not as clinker. Clinker produced in the site or
purchased by the site. Cement + cementitious material (excluded Special product, Lime)

For a given kiln, during a given period:

Sum of stoppage hours caused by Equipment failure * 100 divided by (Effective operating time + Sum of Hours of

For this indicator the "upstream concept" applies
1 - EFRB and PFRB (Process failure rate burning line) are related to Burning
Line Reliability Factor as follows: RF (Kiln) = 100 - EFRB - PFRB
16/32
2 - EFRB measures the technological status of burning line through equipment incidents. It indicates if specific
maintenance actions are necessary to improve overall reliability and actions from the past have been successful.
3 - There are 4 main impacts:
Loss of clinker production : especially for sold out plants this has an important economical impact
Each stoppage (short or long) causes quality fluctuation
Start up after a long stoppage has a significant cost
During stoppage and start up phases equipment are stressed, suffered cumulative fatigue that could lead to
major failure.

Downtime hours resulting from climatic conditions (rainfalls, wind, cold temperature) should normally be
recorded as Incident Stoppage Hours. For exceptional cases of freezing, flooding conditions, etc., the decision as
to whether the downtime is an incident or a circumstance would have to be determined on a case by case basis.
IMPACT OF AN INCIDENT FROM ONE SYSTEM TO ANOTHER: Hot clinker from the kiln has be diverted to the
hot bin via an equipment which is part of the mill system. Therefore, the mill has to be stopped to allow the
operation fo such equipment a necessary. The mill was able to run, but the shift foreman decided to divert the
production to keep the kiln in operation. Mill downtime is counted as Circumstance Stoppage.
POWER DOWNTIME 1) Power contract - If the power contract is such that a piece of equipment has to be down
for a certain period of time during the day or during the year, there are two possibilities in case of Stoppages: a)
no work is performed on the equipment (yard, maintenance. . . ), the downtime is a Circumstance type. b) the
stoppage is used to perform some work, then it becomes Scheduled or Incident downtime depending on the
degree of Scheduling. Most of the time it should be considered as Scheduled. 2) Electrical equipment belonging
to the Power Company If a power stoppage happens on an equipment which belongs to the Power Company, the
downtime should be considered as a Circumstance. Ex: Power Companys sub-station tripped out due to storm.
(Plant has no control of this). 3) Electrical equipment belonging to the plant A power stoppage occurs on a piece
of equipment which belongs to the plant. It is an Incident stoppage. If, however, the failure is due to an Act of
God, over which the plant has no control, or is not expected to have protection from, it is a Circumstance. Note:
Each plant must develop a list of circumstances which would apply here. 4) Plant generates its own electricity
When the incident on the power generator causes the shutdown of another equipment, this downtime is
Circumstance Stoppage. The plant could have avoided the situation by purchasing electricity for production.
However in the case of an incident on a piece of equipment due to a switch from plant power station to the local
electricity distributor, the event would be considered as an Incident stoppage.
Circumstance stoppage hours can be either scheduled or not. Examples: - Scheduled situation: At budget time,
sales are forecasted to be low, allowing the kiln to be kept down for an extended period of time. Budgeted
scheduled downtime should cover the time required to perform the work under normal conditions. If conditions
allow to stretch the duration of downtime by using less overtime, etc., then the additional time is considered as
Circumstance stoppage hours. - Unscheduled situation: The power company is on strike. - Scheduled or
unscheduled situation: When the homo silo is full, the raw mill downtime is considered Circumstance.

The free lime uniformity index is the main indicator to characterise the stability of the burning conditions.
We assume, that under very stable burning conditions the SD of the free lime is not more than 20% of the
absolute value (Coefficient of Variation < 20 %) - in this case a kiln is class A. The term "+0.1" in the
calculation stands for the accuracy of the free lime analysis. Otherwise we would calculate completely
meaningless values for very low absolute free lime figures. Of course this figure is more meaningfull, if the
free-lime is a good measure of the burning conditions (what is not the case for some of our kilns - mainly
some of our long kilns). Therefore, this indicator has to be seen in connection with the absolute amount of
the free lime.

Process Failure Rate Burning Line (by kiln, all products)

PFRB
3-Burning
For a given kiln during a given period:

Sum of stoppage hours caused by Process failure * 100 divided by (Effective operating time + Sum of Hours of
shutdowns on incidents)
For this indicator the "upstream concept" applies
The burning line reliability is linked with the PFRB and the EFRB (Equipment failure rate Burning Line) as follows:
RF(kiln) = 100 - PFRB - EFRB
Explanation: A poorly mastered process very often causes stoppages of the kiln line. This indicator allows
measurement of the influence of the process on the overall reliability of a kiln line and is a basis for corrective
actions. Over time it also shows the success of previous corrective actions.
There are three main economic impacts for this indicator:
1) Loss of clinker production has an important economic impact especially for sold out plants
2) Each stoppage reduces the refractory life, stresses all mechanical equipment and increases heat consumption
because of heating up the system.
Even if these influences are not so easy to measure, they have an important economic impact.
3) Each stoppage causes quality fluctuations
t2 (process)
PA090X (process)
PFRB = ------------------ * 100 = ---------------------------- * 100

t2 (process) : Process related incident: Each relevant incident which is caused by a not fully mastered process.
Kiln line: According to Lafarge Codification, the Kiln Line includes all equipment of burning line i, Code 3i.
The upstream concept requires that stoppages by process incidents of the raw mill, which result in a stoppage of
the kiln line, have to be included.

IQP (product quality indicator)

IQP
P-Plant
The IQP measures the percentage of time results for up to 5 quality parameters selected for each product
produced by the plant, are at or within set upper and/or lower limit(s).
The IQP (Indicateur Qualit Produit or Product Quality Indicator) is an indicator of product quality, as agreed
between marketing & sales and manufacturing staff, based on customer requirements for all product(s) produced
at a plant.
The indicator measures the percentage of time results for up to 5 quality parameters selected for each product
produced by the plant, are at or within set upper and/ or lower limit(s).
Parameters selected should reflect the performance characteristics desired by the main customers using each
product e.g. cement physical, chemical or paste, mortar, micro-concrete or concrete test results. The upper and/or
lower limit(s) for all parameters of each product are jointly set by manufacturing & marketing personnel based on
market requirements and plant capabilities. The limit(s) are set, such that an IQP of 100 should result in zero
customer complaints attributed to cement quality.
For reporting purposes, the IQP will be a single number calculated for each plant based on results obtained
during a calendar year.
A plant can be a cement plant, or a grinding facility (cement or slag)

Definitions
4.1
Incident Category
4.1.1 Fatal Injury (FI) is a work-related injury that results in a loss of life, with no time limit between
the date of the incident and the date of the death. Excluded in all cases are all fatalities in transport to
and from home and work, criminal acts, and natural causes.
FI Example 1 Two sales representative are driving a vehicle to visit a customer for a work meeting. The sales
representatives vehicle is struck by a second vehicle that ran a stop sign. Both sales representatives die from
complications related to the accident. This counts as two fatal injuries.
FI Example 2 an electrical contractor sustains severe burns to his body while working in the plant. Two months
later the electrician dies as a result of a systemic infection related to the burn. This counts as one fatal injury.
4.1.2 Lost Time Injury (LTI) is a work-related injury causing absence from one or more scheduled
workdays (or scheduled shifts), counting from the day after the injury occurs to the day before the
individual returns to normal or modified work.
LTI Example 1 an office administrative assistant falls and sustains a fracture to her arm on Monday. The medical
clinic immobilizes her arm with a cast and instructs the administrative assistant to stay home until Wednesday and will
be required to wear the arm cast for six weeks. The employee misses one day of work and has limited use of her arm
for six weeks.
LTI Example 2 a QC technician falls off a ladder while collecting a sample and strains his shoulder. The technician
returns to work the next day on modified duty (i.e. a medical injury). Two months later, the doctor determines the
shoulder requires surgery to repair the injury. The technician is required to be absent from work for two weeks to
properly recover from surgery (i.e. this injury is reclassified from a medical injury to a LTI with 14 lost work days).
LTI Example 3 an auditor is traveling from the office to the plant for a meeting. His vehicle is struck by an oncoming
truck. He sustains a fractured wrist and is required to miss two weeks from work (i.e. this injury is a LTI with 14 lost
work days).
4.1.3 Medical Injury (MI) is a non-lost time work-related injury that requires treatment by a trained
health care professional (nurse, doctor, physiotherapist, etc). Treatment does not include first aid (as
defined in 4.1.4) even if it is provided by a trained health care professional.
4.1.4 First Aid Injury (FA) is a non-lost time work-related injury that requires one-time treatment of
minor scratches, cuts, burns, splinters and so forth, but does not ordinarily require medical care by a
trained health care professional. Such treatment and observation are considered first-aid even though
provided by a trained health care professional. First aid includes:
Administration of tetanus immunizations

Cleaning, flushing, or soaking wounds on the skin surface
Use of wound coverings, e.g., gauze pads, BandAids, or SteriStrips
Use of hot or cold therapy
Use of eye patches
31/32
Use of any non-rigid means of support, e.g., wraps

Drinking of fluids to relieve heat stress
Use of temporary immobilization devices while transporting an accident victim
, e.g., splints, neck collars, or backboards
Use of X-Rays
Drilling of fingernails or toenails to relieve pressure, or draining fluids from blisters
Use of simple irrigation or cotton swab to remove foreign bodies not embedded in or adhered
to the eye
Use of irrigation, tweezers, cotton swabs, or other simple means to remove splinters or foreign material from
areas other than the eye
Use of finger guards
Use of massages
Use of non-prescription medications at non-prescription strength
4.1.5 Near-Miss Incident (NM) is a work-related incident that did not result in an injury but could
have resulted in an injury under different circumstances.
NM Example 1 a crane operator raises the crane boom and it almost contacts an energized power line.
NM Example 2 a work crew is preparing to enter a newly excavated trench to perform work. The trench wall
collapses before crew enters the trench.
4.1.6
Total Lafarge Employee Hours Worked refers to actual hours worked (refer to 4.2.1).
4.1.7
Lost Work Days (LWD) refers to calendar days.

LWD Example 1 an equipment operator is injured on a Friday. The doctor instructs the operator not return to his job
until the following Tuesday. Because the operator was absent from his next scheduled workday (i.e. Monday), the
injury is classified as a LTI with 3 lost work days (i.e. calendar days: Saturday, Sunday, and Monday).
LWD Example 2 an engineer sustains a LTI from a knee injury that initially results in 7 LWD's in December.
Subsequently, the doctor instructs the engineer to receive surgery to repair torn ligaments on January 10. The doctor
gives permission for the engineer to return to her job on January 25. This injury is classified as an LTI with 7 LWD's
reported in December and 14 LWD's reported in January.
4.2
Affected-Individual Classification
4.2.1 Lafarge Employee any individual that is directly employed (i.e. temporary or permanent) by
Lafarge on a part-time or full-time basis or is managed by Lafarge whether or not the individual
receives remuneration directly from the Lafarge payroll system.
4.2.2 Contractor any individual that is employed (i.e. short-term or long-term) by a contract
company or sub-contractor to perform work activities or services (including transport) for Lafarge.
4.2.3
Third-Party any individual including vendors, suppliers, visitors, customers or others

interacting with Lafarge (e.g. a Lafarge vehicle collides with a 3rd party automobile).
4.3
Key Performance Indicators
4.3.1
Fatal Injuries (FI) the total number of FIs:

FI = Total Number of FIs by Lafarge Employee, Contractor, 3rd Party categorized as Industrial and Road.
4.3.2
Lost Time Injuries (LTI) the total number of LTIs:

LTI = Total number of LTIs in two distinct categories: i) Lafarge Employees, and ii) Contractors.
4.3.3 Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) the number of LTIs + FIs per million hours
worked:
LTIFR = (Total Lafarge Employee LTIs+FIs) (1.000.000) / (Total Lafarge Employee Hours Worked)
4.3.4
Severity Rate (SR) the number of lost work days per one thousand hours worked:
SR = (Total Lafarge Employee LWDs) (1.000) / (Total Lafarge Employee Hours Worked)
4.3.5
Medical Injury Frequency Rate (MIFR) = the number of MIs per million hours worked:
MIFR = (Total Lafarge Employee MIs) (1.000.000) / (Total Lafarge Employee Hours Worked)
Notes:
1
For Lafarge employee fatal injuries, 365 lost work days will be used for calculating the SR.
2
MIFR does not include lost time injuries.
4.3.6
Total Injury Frequency Rate (TIFR)
= the number of FIs, MIs and LTIs per million hours worked:
TIFR = (Total Lafarge Employee: FIs+LTIs+MIs) (1.000.000) / (Total Lafarge Employee Hours Worked)
