Abstract

The sustainability of raw materials manufacturing industries is represented by the inscribed triangle and inverse triangle models. The significance of the inverse triangle is to satisfy the uncertainty when the upward triangle is facing multiple crises. The sustainability effectiveness is depending on indexes, indices, and variables that are used for evaluation. The indexes reduce the dimensionality problem, indices balance the equilibrium sustainability and variables determine the process capability. Sustainability evaluation of metallurgical value addition processes indicates that the modeling possesses some level of sustainability without satisfying the profit index. The level of sustainability is ineffective and susceptible to incurring a loss when applied to semi-finished products manufacturing. Therefore, the aspect of sustainability is the profitability of the value addition processes. The effectiveness of the model will quantify the triangles and criteria for uncertainty satisfaction. Hence, a case study is undertaken for estimating the sustainability of the Port-based Pellet and Pig Iron project owned by KIOCL Ltd., Panambur, and Mangalore. The indexes based evaluation of the metallurgical value-added process facility helps to reduce the complexity of the problem and computing difficulties.
