KPI – Economic Indicator Effect on EU/Rest of the world steel trade

been used in order to evaluate the EU raw material dependence from the rest of the world and an approach both qualitative and quantitative has been used in order to calculate the variations in the EU Competitiveness. An important consideration in the development of KPIs is the selection of the appropriate measurement categories. The selection is based, first of all, on the quantification of the European dependence through the weight of the non-EU supplier countries and through the weight of the most important raw materials in the production process, then on the measurement of the European competitiveness. Due to its particular features, the steelmaking sector has been taken into consideration in order to provide a template calculation. The article describes the methodology and the algorithms applied in the steel sector. Finally, some results that have been obtained in an exemplar case are described and discussed.
