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”
Gathering Information
Identify Problem
Find The Needs
Identify Effective Solution
Analyze Effectiveness Of Solution
Objectives
Several Problems:Issue of OrganizationIssue of Effective StorageIssue of Multiple Entities Cooperating

Efficient Process
Sustainable Incentives that propagate the process and
can be maintained into the foreseeable future of all entities involved
Process that can be maintained without exorbitant operational costs
Space Efficient
ArcelorMittal does not separate the steel on site

Produce manuals to be sold to scrap companies
These manuals identify types
of metal used in product
Identify where metals are in product
IncentiveThis would provide new
incomeHelp 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
