Project Background Large Steel Company with Extensive client base Facing large problem with disorganized and mislabeled

scrap coming in Causing off heats and affecting quality of their product Creates dissatisfied clients Currently correcting the heats one batch at a time

Do so by adding in pure alloys Chromium cost $32 for every 100g Manganese cost $6.50 for every 100g Aluminum cost $15.72 for every 100g

Expensive Time consuming

Would like a system created to mitigate these issues

Would like for the material to be organized before entering their facilities

The problem requires us to look at the big picture Cooperation between large entities (i.e. auto manufacturers,

scrappers, etc.)

Gathering Information

The recycled steel is creating issues Unfeasible to exclude scrap metal from the solution Too costly to make steel solely from scratch Will be impossible eventually

Expanding countries of China and India Limited resources Inflation & exorbitant prices

Effectively use scrap to sustain steel making into the future “Cradle-to-Cradle”

Produce manuals to be sold to scrap companies

These manuals identify types of metal used in productIdentify where metals are in

product Incentive

This would provide new income

Help with quality of steel arriving at their plants

Manufacturers

Would Purchase manuals from Manufactures More Specific in scrap process

Scrappers

Incentives Increased payment from ArcelorMittal for properly

separated steel

Pays higher fees for the recycled steel imported into their plants

Needs to establish better and more frequent communication between themselves, manufacturers, and the scrappers

Incentives Less need for raw materials like pure

carbon etc.Less expensive with more effective use

of recycled material

ArcelorMittal

Builds on ArcelorMittal’s already established specs Provides incentives for scrappers to meet their specs fully Utilizes the cradle-to-cradle concept better Less cost for raw materials Possibly reduced mining Help reach a shrinking state of new steel production

Benefits

Our Solution

Effectively implement appropriate incentivesCan be sustained into the foreseeable future Utilizes almost all of existing infrastructure

therefore efficient process
