SteelConsult uses a unique techno-economic business planning model, which is tailored to companies and processes in the iron and steel industry. Our model allows detailed, transparent and integrated insight into your operations and your cash flows. By customising and combining modules for the various iron and steelmaking processes, we are able to create a model customised to your situation with a surprisingly short lead time.

Our model distinguishes itself by:

  • Attention to plant operations: our model is based on a bottom-up analysis of all production lines including material flows, capacities, yield factors, scrap, energy credits and so on. Other models are usually limited to top-down analysis of balance sheet, P&L account and cash flow statement;
     
  • Comprehensiveness: markets, market shares, prices, processes, capacities, investments, costs and financial parameters are all interlinked, showing effects of changes in one part of the company in all other parts of the company;
      
  • Transparency: the model has been designed to remain as simple and transparent as possible. The model is organised process by process and follows the product flow of the company. There is a clear distinction between input fields and (automatic) calculations. Summary sheets and charts provide a quick overview of key parameters;
      
  • Flexibility: allowing for easy sensitivity and scenario analysis.

The business planning model delivers the following output:

  1. Overview of key variables: charts and tables showing Net Income, Return on Invested Capital, Return on Equity, Free Cash Flow, Debt/Equity ratio and more;
  2. Financial Chapter: Balance Sheet, Profit & Loss Account, Cash Flow Statement, Net Present Value and Sensitivity analysis;
  3. Market Chapter: Market volumes, market shares, sales volumes, sales prices, revenues, contribution margins;
  4. Production Chapter: Capacities, material flow, production, utilisation rates and yields;
  5. Cost Summary Chapter: Investments, depreciations, variable costs, fixed costs, cost prices of raw materials, labour and energy;
  6. Process sheets: Operational and cost details by process, from upstream to downstream.
  
SteelConsult's business planning model meets all criteria to be used as a bankable document.
